[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a similar kid. Do you ever wonder if some of it is just hormones? I mean, I know that mental health diagnoses are real and potentially serious, but I keep thinking my kid will outgrow the slump. [/quote] This is OP. Thanks to everyone for the thoughtful and kind replies. To this PP, I did think this for the first year or two. It's now gone on too long. I fear we're in for a lifelong struggle. :-( I do have hope that, once out of the environment of school (high school or college, if she goes) she'll be much happier. She's bright, has a job that she does well at, etc. She can handle life, but doesn't conform to school well. But, the depression right now is real; she has very intense dark moods, and in some ways just sees the world for what it really is at an age where most people are still able to have optimism. That said, today appears to be a good day, so I'm trying to appreciate it.[/quote]
