Suggest Treatment For Depression And Anxiety In A Child

my 14 year old son has been refusing to go to school because he is sad. He has therapy with a psychologist but is not on medication. He goes through this periodically but is not an medication. We are at a point where talking is not fixing the school refusal problem. What is the best medication to help 6 160lbs 14 yr old boy with depression anxiety disorder?

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. The condition of your son could be categorized under school delinquency. Further comes under the category of OCD rather than anxiety. Best option is Behavioral Therapy. You may consult a psychiatrist and a psychologist for combined treatment.
