[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have had a lot of struggles with my similar-sounding kid. It helps me to analogize depression to dementia. Pushing someone with dementia to study more isn’t going to work. It just leads to more behavior problems. Until the brain is healthy you aren’t going to get anywhere. So if that means taking it easier and delaying college, that’s what we will do. If it helps you, we have tried the pushing and it just made the mental health that much worse. [/quote] To summarize, you set her up for success by letting go of any expectations regarding college or timelines and focusing entirely on mental health. And I hope that works.[/quote] Agree with this. Also, the treatments are therapy, EF coaching and meds. If what you have done hasn’t worked, try a different therapist, modality, meds, psychiatrist. That should be what you are pushing - finding and cooperating with a treatment plan. [/quote]
