All I can say is it is hard to talk to boys, exspecially when they are dealing with mental health issues. The older the get, the less they talk to you. Try and get him to talk as much as he is willing. He will let you know if he wants to talk or not. I am a mentally ill person too and I am also a mom. I am trying to hang in there so you do the same. Best of luck to you.  insaineone
