[quote=Anonymous]Is he unhappy or are you? As you mentioned he’s an underachiever- has it always been this way? I cannot diagnose from here but having worked in a college career center, I have seen this a bit. Could be inattentive adhd, low grade depression, some other diagnosis. Also, some males do mature later. At 28, it may now be a combination of situational depression brought on by not having direction earlier on. Not sure what to do, coast, try, not successful, coast. If he is open to it, I would contact alumni career services at his university and ask for recommendation for career coach. Also, NCDA lists career counselors by state. GWU Launch I think it is - for 20 something’s needing support with above issues. Lastly, encourage volunteering, work away, travel, an activity. I always say you have to engage with life to have any sense of what you like - even for fun. Best wishes for your son.[/quote]
