[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd just keep an eye on them. I have an older sibling who didn't get into their top choice (though they were at a top ten) and had a bit of a breakdown and ended up hospitalized in fall of freshman year after a self harm attempt. With medication and therapy she adjusted and graduated just fine from the school she did go to. But it was the first strong manifestation of her bipolar disorder. She's gone on to have a full successful career and life, but it’s just always going to be a factor. Now I want to strongly emphasize that what my sibling has is rare and the vast majority of kids who are a bit bummed will be totally fine. But just keep an eye on your kids and keep talking and if you feel like something is off, get help.[/quote] Good advice. If OP feels something is off and warrants a psychiatric consultation, maybe it’s not run-of-the-mill disappointment… [/quote]
