DS1 is 20. He's just had a second episode where he fainted/ collapsed for a few seconds (10-15 seconds). The first was in August and he refused to go to the doctor. I am hoping he will go now this is a second time and he burst open his eyebrow plus grazed his cheek from falling on the coffee table - luckily from sitting - so there is a physical injury.
I think it may be stress related as we had a conversation earlier in the day about his mental health and how he's feeling. He was crying, he's very depressed and completely hopeless about himself or the future. He said he's only OK if he blocks thoughts out and doesn't think about himself or life/ future. He was adamant he's not going to the doctor about his mental health even though I'm very worried about what he may do to himself (I did not say that to him).
If he refuses to go to the doctor, is there anything I can do. If he says he will go, can I go in with him? (I know he will minimise and he wasn't actually conscious for both the physical incidents, has no memory of them). He's 20. He's unemployed and not seeking work/ signing on as he feels unable to work, rubbish at everything, so we are fully supporting him. He's obviously very vulnerable mentally and possibly physically as well, but I'm not sure what I can/ can't do with an adult child who refuses help but is still basically in my care. He hasn't threatened suicide or anything.
