I have an 18 year old son who has been on a downward trajectory in last 3 -4 years. He appears to swing from rages to periods where he isolates himself in his room playing computer games for many hours.

He sees a psychologist who says that we the parents are the main problem. I do not believe he is improving and fear that there is something more than psychosocial going on. I am the mother and I was diagnosed a few years ago as having bipolar 2 after a lifetime of hypomanic episodes interspersed with bouts of depression every 2-3 years. I have been medication since 2011 and it has changed my life.
