[quote=Anonymous]When you're used to being BMOC, to all of a sudden NOT be, is VERY unsettling. He doesn't KNOW how to not be adored and it's throwing him. Are you SURE it was a panic attack and he wasn't just being a typical dramatic teenager? Maybe he was just crying hard and can't remember experiencing that. Strongly encourage him to go to the mental health people, and make sure he pushes them to help him now. Some colleges are slow to get the therapy going. Follow up with him on the RA - if that person isn't helpful, encourage him to escalate to the RD, who is generally older than the RA and should be able to provide more help and support. Encourage him to join a few things. At least three. Tell him he can drop out of one or two, but needs to find a social group. It's okay if the dorm floor isn't his cup of tea (solo cup of beer?) - he can move next year.[/quote]
