[quote=Anonymous] OP - If your son has GAD - generalized anxiety disorder and it is about perfectionism in many areas of his life, then getting therapy is a good first step. Also making sure that he has a well-rounded general life that is not all focused on the grades he receives, or rank in his class, or position on a sports team or position if in band or orchestra. Try to also look to see if he is anxious or conscious of what his peers are doing. I would also ask if "transitions" have been hard for him as going from MS to HS because the one looming ahead of college could be the point at which the severity of his anxiety might hit and away from home. So I would keep a close eye out and in touch with therapist about when and if a low dose medication might be useful - under the prescribing of a psychiatrist not a PCP to level out his daily living. If we had recognized this in our oldest, life for all would have been so much more settled in college years. [/quote]
