[quote=Anonymous]One more thing -- I'm the poster who suggested Ascend at MCA -- this is SUCH a common situation. So many kids feel "good enough" to do well in high school, have friendships, etc. but the pressures of transition to college can exacerbate depression and anxiety where "good enough" isn't good enough. And it doesn't necessarily get bad enough in Freshman year to raise it. Our child is back at college (no issue returning from the medical leave) and is now thriving but most importantly has tools and emotional skills that were missing before. It's so common. And depression and anxiety are common in all of us adults, too. It's a gift to your child to help him develop those skills now. Good luck and hang in there. It's not an easy journey but very worth it to tackle head-on. [/quote]
