[quote=Anonymous]I think all of the talk about drugs is here is probably not on point. It's more likely a combination of mental health issue + normal growing up and pulling away from family + a relationship that may not be 100% healthy. OP, he will be home in a couple of months, right? You can have him see his PCP then. Let the doctor know you are concerned about depression. You mentioned he'd been in therapy before. Why was he in therapy? You painted a picture of an all-around happy, social, successful kid before the girlfriend -- so why was he in therapy? Early 20s is where mental illness tends to rear it's ugly head. The withdrawal from interests and friends/family and the fact that you say he is looking unkempt sound like depression. Keep that in mind when he graduates and comes home, and prepare yourself to deal with that. [/quote]
