[QUOTE="Day, post: 659038, member: 19174"] I will for sure. He has an extensive medical history as he had a stroke in utero and we had many visits to Children's hospital. What was supposed to be cerebral palsy, never came to fruition, so we carried on. He had an assessment done at 7 years old and he had mild add and mild Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) but not enough for an official diagnosis. He worked hard on his schooling and again, we carried on. He started talking about depression in middle school, saying 'i know i should be happy, i have a good life, so why am i not?' We started him on counseling, supplements, and exercise really helped. We went through the blip of middle school with girls, marijuanna experimenting, some drinking but he seemed happy, grades were good. We had some amazing family vacations,everyone is close, we all got along, hiking trips with his dad. And then his girlfriend of 2 years broke up with him, for another guy and that is when the steady spiral down started and no medication or therapy or trips away, would help. The trauma maybe triggered something that was laying dormet. The doctor said it sounds like he has had mild depression and anxiety his whole life. Looking back, I feel guilty for not doing enough. We were so happy and thank-ful that he was physically healthy that we never even thought about his mental health. I have called a nueropsychologist office to get an assessment done. Thank-you everyone. [/QUOTE]
