Hi, my 16 year old had been behaving oddly since starting his secondary school. He had stolen from us on many occasions, lies so much with so much conviction, I can't tell what is true and what is not anymore, I found messages on his phone claiming he is trans, gay, straight, etc to different people he finds on Instagram. His school is very concerned and we are worried he won't make it into his sixth form. He won't flash toilet/clean teeth/take a shower unless we tell him to. He even lies about what he had for lunch or what movie he had watched at the cinema. Icame to a conclusion that he needs to see somebody urgently, I have a feeling he will end up in prison if I don't do something now. I am looking for a clinical psychologist in central London, somebody with lots of experience and who can see through his lies.
