[quote=Anonymous]My DC has been in college for two years and has either withdrawn or failed about half the classes. DC recently said that he has been depressed off and on the whole two years. He took antidepressants for awhile his first year but decided to stop taking them. I thought it was because he was feeling better but he recently said they didn't do much. He just started taking a different one and I'm trying to get him to go to counseling. Do we make him take a year or semester off and work? Do we send him to Outward Bound? Do we send him to a college for students with learning disabilities? He has ADD and really struggles with executive functioning and the depression on top makes school a real challenge. I'm leaning towards having him take time off to get the depression under control but I don't think a lot of unstructured time at home is a good idea.[/quote]
