Re: [Everything doTERRA] Mental Health Struggles of a Teenage Brother

Lavender, Vetiver, Balance for sure - where do you live?  I would also add Elevation.
My 17 year old brother has battled with some sort of mental health issue for the last eight years. In about the 4th grade, he started saying things like "I'm not a good boy,"  "I'm stupid," "I'm not good enough at sports", etc.  We can't quite diagnose him (ADD, depression, OCD, or past abuse that he hasn't revealed). He has had "testing" done for ADD which came out "inconclusive." He especially struggles with math and science in school.  He has seen three doctors/counselors and was on Lexapro for a few months and then Adderall on and off for about the past 2 years. His symptoms include anger, agitation, lack of focus, night terrors, dropping out of sports, etc.  He never smiles at home. What we are looking for is something to help him at school and to be happier.  He has been on a roller coaster ride with us trying to help him – he feels like he is defective – and he is ready to give up and not talk about any of this anymore.

We are taking him off of all medications and ready to treat him only with oils.  1) What oils should we give him regularly internally? 2) What oils should we use aromatically?
