Maybe, but...: Maybe, but that is not the best option. It is impossible to know the dosing and purity of those compounds. He should see a doctor for a prescription, and will probably need counseling. Good luck.

Mental Health: Please. Be cautious. A thirteen year old's brain is still developing. I would not advise any product unless specifically recommended by the physician managing and monitoring your son's care.
