[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Talk therapy is not cheap, either. Very hard to get teens to address "issues" that adults see very clearly.[/quote]
Neglectful parenting has a high price. It's better to do the hard work when the kids are younger. But how many parents of little kids are even home? It's a string of daycare workers or nannies. No one really knows your kid.[/quote]

This started as a thread that was helpful for the parents dealing with kids who have depression, a serious illness that has a death toll, and causes enormous stress on parents.  The thread has now been destroyed by posters with a regressive, hateful agenda.

I am a SAHM.  I have been home.  I have never neglected my children.  I know them better than anyone.  And my teen has struggled with serious, serious depression.  Therapy plus medication saved her.  Without the medication the therapy would have been a waste of time, she would not have been able to access it.

I have a good idea, why don't parents of kids with depression post on the SN section to get actual support.  Better yet, speak with medical professionals.  There are too many posters here who know nothing and peddle ignorant, dangerous ideas.[/quote]
Another defensive parent in deep denial. Did you read the medical professional above who addressed the enviornment elementals? Response to that?

Key is parental emotional availability.
