Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. I must know why your son was prescribed with prodep. If your son is suffering with anger tantrums, and was diagnosed with it, with the help of clinical psychology psychometric tests, then he will be cured, of course. The diagnosis is the key.

At 17, due to the adolescent factor, role confusion, peer pressure, social issues, a person do feel annoyed and be angry at everything and that is developmental task. There is nothing new in it. Understanding the anger by parents, society and the boy himself is important. I don't think he needs any psychiatric medicines. He just needs empathy.

You can post a direct question to me in this website. Include every detail about your son. I shall prescribe some techniques to control anger. I am sure that the techniques should be a success.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
