[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 372545, member: 1157"] I think under the circumstances, a call to your pediatrician is in order .. let him/her know what is going on, and see if they can get him in to see someone ASAP. Sometimes doctors can call other doctors directly and get you in more quickly. I really think a professional should evaluate him to see just how serious his thoughts are. I know you're worried he'll close up, but if it's approached with concern and "hey let's get you some help if you're feeling this badly, we love you, don't want to see you so unhappy, and don't want to lose you" he might be more willing to speak to someone. If nothing else, call your locality's mental health/community services department and ask to speak to someone there about a potential crisis. Tell them the history, what's going on, and see what they think. [/QUOTE]
