My 15 year old son was diagnosed with anxiety and depression and I am kicking myself for not seeing the signs sooner. He has been spending more and more time alone but he's always been a bit of a loner. He is socially immature and most kids his age are into much different things. He has always been smart and takes sophomore math and science classes as a freshman but his grades have been dropping lately since he just can't find it in himself to care anymore.I thought him sleeping in until noon on weekends, blowing off homework, and being incredibly moody were all normal teen things but my son is struggling and we didn't even know. He had two breakdowns in the last month. It took him having a breakdown at school for us to see that something was wrong with our child. We brought him into the world and can't even notice when he's unhealthy? I feel so terrible. His breakdowns affect his young sibling too and if we caught this earlier maybe we could have avoided that. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2SVljpn
