Suggest Treatment For Restlessness In A Teenager
I have an 18 year old son that has always been hyper. He plays basketball and exercises every day which would help him deal with his hyperness. But from some time till now it seems not to work. We are at a point that he has started smoking marijuana to calm him down. At night he feels tingling in his legs and anxiety, where he may get up in the middle of the night and run around the block to calm his sensations. I don t know what it could be and how can I help him?

high energy levels are always seen in teenagers, as they transform into adults it will calm down. now if he is very restless and feeling very anxious,and started on marijuana,which is a very very dangerous step.i strongly suggest you to get him immediatly consulted to a psychologist or psychiatrist and get him free from any harmful dugs he is using. now is action time to prevent him from ruining his life
