[quote=Anonymous]Our son was on a similar track around age 11. Looking back, we didn't take it seriously enough and relied on talk therapy, school adjustments and just trying to work through it. At age 16 he landed in residential treatment and we couldn't communicate with him for a month that included Christmas. Ugh. Eventually, he got the drugs that really helped (mostly Bupropion) and a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) at Newport Academy. It was not the teenage years we imagined but he's alive, will graduate from high school and spends time with his friends. It's a win. Our regret was not going after his problems aggressively enough at the start. [/quote]
