Hi, so my 16yo DS is really struggling. One minute he's ok, the next the rage is unbearable (for him and us) he smashes his room to pieces, punches doors and walls. Walks out of the house with no top or shoes on. We've been waiting to see CAMHS for 5 months. Ended up in A and E last night to see the crises team after an off duty police officer reported him as he heard him shouting he was going to stab his dad. I'm at my wits end. I don't know how to help him. He's never been violent to me but I'm scared he is going to seriously hurt himself. Does anyone have any words of wisdom as I feel like I am totally failing as his mum

Hi
Did he see mh team at a&e ?
What did they say/do?

Yes, they were useless, just checked he wasn’t an immediate danger to himself and sent us on our way.
