Teenager out of control

Where to start...my 14 yr old son is out of control. Has no respect for me, tells me he hates me and wish he never lived in our family. Doesn’t behave in school it’s his way or the highway. So much anger at everything and especially me. Seen doctor and referral to counselor and prescribed anti depressants for unstable behavior moods and he doesn’t want to take them. Don’t know what to do anymore??

Sounds like my son of the same age before his anti depressants kicked in.
I’d crush his tablet and put it in his dinner.

Please don't drug your son without his consent as suggested below hiding the meds in his food. Gez that's cringe as, he is a young man and that would be so disrespectful.

What has he said is bothering him when you have had one on one talks about his behaviour? It is a really difficult age and I don't have all the answers but drugs are only a bandaid. Perhaps some men's counselling or a male mentor program where he can learn to handle his emotions and masculine side from someone who specialises in such?

I wish you all the best, stay strong and keep doing the best you can to help him.
