question: My son has been hospitalized for the 5 time for mental health issues. He is 14 and this all started with tics. Little did I know then how much worse things would get. 4 years later and he was choking me this past Friday and our butcher knife is missing. We come from a good home. He has had the best childhood. He says now that he is hearing a voice telling him to do bad things. We've tried many medications. They have prescribed Geodon. I know after many different types, that antipsychotics cause him to get worse. I'm really worried for him and for me. Is Electroconvulsive therapy an alternative for someone his age in Ohio? I feel like he is getting worse every month that goes by. I miss my son and how fun he used to be. I'm afraid that in 4 more years he could be worse. I want to get ECT for him. What are your thoughts?
