I'm trying to get myself prepared in order to sit down with him and discuss some kind of plan. He doesn't like talking about how he feels much though usually he's ok with me. When I can sit down with him I will encourage him to register.

Thanks ever so much for your thoughts and suggestions. It's amazing to hear something that makes sense and is pro-active! PhilosopherBoi: I understand that drugs are not going to cure him but it's the Rituals and Obssessions that are getting out of control so his anxiety levels must be very high, i'...
