You too!
Clinical depression is not caused by your life experiences or because you are weak or ungrateful. This runs in our family. Although we are fortunate enough not to have alcoholism in the family...that I know of.. .depression is common with substance abuse.
Clinical depression is very treatable.
The military is not good for everyone. Many people come out of it worse than when they went in. PTSD is no fun. My husband has two relatives who are now disabled after serving. I respect both with all my heart. They are great people. But they saw too much and will probably never be the same
Your son sounds as if he is doing things right!
Happy Thanksgiving!
