We had some of the same with DS15, thearpy has helped. Spending time with him also helped. DW went on walks with him in the erly evening. He opened up more. Also we did not try to solve everything, just listing without judgement helped some. Also having him learn what to focus on. All they see is the bad and how it affects them. they become very self focused. Getting him to focus on others, and helping others. Getting him ouside himself helped. Having him see the good things in his life helped. There was no one thing that worked, and at times things are better or worse. Over the long run things have improved a lot.
