My Son Is Very Depressed And Has Anxiety Issues. His

My son is very depressed and has anxiety issues. His doctor has tried zoloff, Prozac and is now on Effexor. Each one makes him feel worse or angry. He was diagnosised with acute social anxiety and highly functioning OCD. None of the antidepressions work. I took him to my plastic surgeon recently for a skin peel on acne and he said it was not acne but Luke producing to much cortisol. That leads to depression he said. My son is so unhappy because he feels like he is different. He is 17 and doesn't even want to drive. He told me two years ago he was gay, but I am the only one who knows (I told his dr's privately). I don't have any medical records on him because I adopted him from Russia 16 1/2 years ago and they didn't have any medical records. I have tried many doctors in the last 3 years but nothing helps. He has chronic fatigue and sleeps every hour he is not in school. He may get up a couple of hours on Sat and Sun. I love him so much and I wish he could be as proud of himself as I am of him. Can you help?
