Are depressed, easily fluctuating signs of psychological disturbance?

Ask
Hello doctor. I have a son, now 21 years old, currently studying in the army. I've been acting strange lately. The first is to ask your parents to find a lover and get married right away. The second is to be fluctuating, easily manipulated, and depressed. My wife and I are very worried. The other day, I listened to the radio and learned about Psychosis. The doctor asked if my child had this problem? How and where is the treatment? Looking forward to the advice of a doctor. Thank you.

Hello Mr. Dac! With the symptoms described, it is likely that his son is traumatized in love (betrayed,...) so he wants a wife (for revenge even though he doesn't love). So you should delicately find out the cause, use advice, ... because this age is very straightforward, easy to be proud of, easy to fall. If possible, you should bring to a psychologist (psychiatry specialist) who can help, or use anti-anxiety and stress relievers. Hope your baby recovers soon!
