anxiety/agraphobia

I have come to realise that my son Glen 16 is suffering with agrophobia and anxiety, due to how he acts. If the prozac works then it will help him, but what if it doesn't it and he's only been on the meds 2 weeks and I've heard it takes around 4 weeks to notice any real difference.

At the moment Glen doesn't want to go anywhere, i.e. clubs that he used to attend, respite, school. I just about get him to School as a taxi picks him and brings him back, if that didn't happen then I wouldn't be able to get him there. Glen only goes to respite if he goes from School or they come and get him, once again I cannot get him them. Glen refuses to go hits himself constantly, hits out at me, runs to his room, etc. So I 'give in' and keep him at home for a peaceful life basically.

Not only is there the problem of going anywhere, the other thing is, for the past number of weeks Glen has come in from School wanting curtains closed in living room and light on. If you don't do this he will then kick etc as I explained above. He then wants to lay in his room for a while, even at weekends when there is no school. If I don't 'give in to him' then as I've said he gets really aggressive. So basically I whats necessary for a quiet life. Glen even asks for curtains closed & light on in living room at weekends at the same time of day (3.45pm) as he does in the week, so its not just School days when this occurs.

Glen is still waiting this mental health assessment, which he desperately needs. He looks and appears a very depressed, anxious individual who needs urgent help.

So if you were me and please be honest would you do what I do or would you take him to clubs where he doesn't want to go, is clearly anxious etc? I look at it like this if it was me and I was so anxious about something that I didn't want to do then I wouldn't do it. Anyway please I welcome your comments on this.
