Could someone develop mental heath problems after 3 years off acutane??

My son was on acutane in 9th gr. Finished it and in his 2nd year in college had a nervous breakdown. His diagnosis was depression with psychosis. 7 years later he is still struggling with this. He was completely normal, a good student and a star athlete in High School. What if he was in the 1% of all users of acutane. He doesn’t go out of the house right now. Let me know what you think??

Honestly this sounds like more of a situation for a mental health professional.  If acutane was to blame you would need strong medical evidence to support your claim.

At such time as you think that you have it, you should consult with a personal injury lawyer in your area.  A consulatation of this type of case would most probably be free.

Best of luck.
