John,
He's 15. He's getting it from wherever he can.?? His brain is still forming. I would say that this is him self-medicating his depression. He's worse now on citalopram. He says he's not giving up the pot. He's rebellious though they can reluctantly get him to go to the doc for help.

Diagnosis: depression and anxiety

Of meds tried, nortriptyline worked the best but caused major weight gain so d/c
