I can not sleep can not eat, cries a lot, worries and fear of everything from fear of something, tremors, etc.

How old is your son anyway? Maybe I should calm him enough, maybe they just did not cope with his time on the stress of everyday life.

Some symptoms of depression and feeling weak the whole time, can not sleep, can not be happy and feel nothing to expect. A doctor can refer a patient for counseling (1-2-1 is better than the group) and certain antidepressants. Hope this helps.
