I just wanted to say I am sorry that he and your family are dealing with this. I hope the medications work, but like the others said, keeping a close eye out for other things too. If you can get him into counseling asap that would probably be really good.

It's good he is being open and honest about it. I hope he can get whatever combo of meds and therapy that make the difference for him sorted out soon. I'll be thinking of you all.

Hugs and prayers to you and your son. Please keep an eye on him for the first couple of months on the antidepressants. Not to frighten you; but while his body is adjusting to the meds, he may become suicidal. Just keep checking in with him and let him know that you love him.

You'll be in my thoughts and prayers. We went through a really bad time with DD's depression this past year and finally got her to a much better place. Find him a good counselor, sounds like your Dr is a good one and will be your ally and can help you find a good one. It took several medication changes to get DD back on track so be prepared for that. It seems endless when you are going through it, but there is light at the end of the tunnel!
I know how heartbreaking this is and I am so sorry you and your sweet boy are suffering. Depression is a monster. Hugs, mama.

So glad he went to the dr. He obviously wants help because he said he was depressed. I hope he can get in a better place soon. Watching your child suffer sucks.

Oh, I am so sorry to hear that he is suffering so much. You got him to the right place at the right time, and there really is hope from here. There is help for him, it may take some effort and trial and error, but he can come through this. Hugs to him and to you, too, I know this is hard for you to see him hurting.

What an amazing, sensitive mom you are. I'm sorry to hear that your son is struggling with depression, but thankful that it's something that can be effectively treated. If you think it would encourage him, please tell him that some of your Pea friends have been in the same boat and are keeping all of you uplifted in our thoughts and prayers.

Sorry to hear this. Many prayers for your son and the family.
Sadly, depression is more common in this stressful world we live in. I have known and do know quite a lot of adolescents struggling with this. Perhaps he will feel better knowing he is not alone.
Hang in there and hoping the Medes do the job.

I'm sorry to hear the update and I am glad your son was honest and felt safe enough to admit what's been going on. Hopefully that is the first step towards recovery for him.
I have a friend going through a similar thing with his 16yo son (depression that has led to anorexia). He is getting better after a couple of hospital stays.
