Unless your son signed a consent for release of information, the doctor was not legally allowed to inform anyone about your son's being on psychotropic medications unless he directly expressed his intent to immediately harm himself to the doctor.
I'm sorry for your loss. I just wanted to clarify why a doctor might not inform an adult's parent about his care.
