[quote=Anonymous]PP is absolutely wrong about giving him space. I have depression and waited far too long to recognize it in my DD. the two classic signs of depression are sleeping too much or too little, and eating too much or too little. Add to that his sadness, and you every reason to call the doctor ASAP. of course you aren't diagnosing him, thats for a clinician to do. He's really suffering, that you cans see. And children his age can engage in self-harm if it becomes serious enough -- and you can't really know form looking at the surface. there is no necessary trigger, especially when its genetic. I suspect everyone suggesting that you wait has never had a child with depression. Don;t wait. he needs help now.[/quote]
