[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 488734, member: 1550"] Hi, Star. thank you for you always good advice. I may do that! I also have the book "Feeling Good" by Dr. David Burns about Cognitive Behavioral Therapy/depression. I'm going to tell him that I have struggled with depression all my life, and it was really bad at his age and that this book helped me (he's an avid reader). I am hoping he reads it...it not only covers CBT, but medication. I think, in his case, it is bad enough that he will need medication. This young adult is a great example of somebody who NEEDS medication, just like I do. At a time when he should be excited about graduating and getting into the college of his dreams, he is wondering if he should kill himself because he's no good. It is typical clinical depression, and nobody understands it. Usually you hear, "Snap out of it! You have so much to live for. WHY are you feeling sorry for yourself?" Then you feel even more useless because you CAN'T snap out of it. I know how it is. If Jumper gets really scared, I'm going to just call his parents and hope his father answers (his mother will be useless). [/QUOTE]
