Pysch Chat,
I'm sorry to hear about your son. That must be painful; however, I sense you are strong and will be able to deal with this successfully.
Years ago, I was diagnosis as bipolar. At that point, I was put on depakote. I tolerated it well. I don't know how it is for males--for women it has ben shown to signal an increase in abdominal fat. I also think it is relatively cheap.
blessing and good thoughts for your son,
