[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m probably the minority, but I hate the idea of taking teens to therapy unless there is an actual mental health illness diagnosed by a psychiatrist and the therapist is part of the treatment plan made by her doctor. Otherwise, no. Teens need to learn to be resilient and how to problem solve. This sounds like is could be normal teen drama. I’d have the come to Jesus talk with the focus on grades. All the other stuff doesn’t matter. But her grades are going to be her ticket to the future she wants. She is closing doors and losing opportunities if she checks out of school- you need to a light a fire under her about that. If you suspect she is clinically depressed (which she might be, no one here can say), take her to a psychiatrist for an evaluation. Start with her pediatrician if you don’t know where to start. [/quote] She’s expressing suicidal ideation. OP, Skip the CTJ and go directly to therapy. [/quote]
