My 17 year old stepson has been depressed for awhile now. 2 years ago he was suicidal over a break up with a girl. Then again a few months ago over another break-up.
He was in therapy after the first break-up and the psychiatrist said he was at a high enough risk that we needed to hide all medicine and lock up anything he could harm himself with.
This last time his dad yelled at him and said he was weak and worthless. This I'm sure broke his heart. His dad told hime to hand over his keys get HIMSELF into therapy etc... Nothing ever materialized. His mother said that it was normal for teens to feel this way after a break up.
While my stepson was away on vacation with his mom over the 4th he began having chest pains and was taken to the hospital. It turned out to be a panic attack. But when the doctor had him lift his shirt he found cuts all over Brandons chest. These cuts are healed and it does not look like he has cut himself recently. But then again he and his girlfriend are back together.

Needless to say I am extremely worried about him. I don't think his parents are taking it seriously- it fact his mother wasn't even going to tell us. It was his grandma that called and told me.

I have suffered from depression and know how it feels and was hopitalized on a suicide watch for 2 weeks about 10 years ago. I know how awful it can be. I am now treated for clinical depression.

His mom does'nt want him on any medication, she thinks it will just magically go away.

Can anyone here give me advise on how to handle this? Any comments will be appreciated.
