Is this depressing?

From Stu's Dad Blog - navigating teenage depression as a parent.
There's a particular kind of dread that comes with watching your teen sink. You don't know if it's hormones, a phase, or something deeper. You're guessing, every day.
What helped us: getting a name for it, getting a GP appointment, and getting honest with the people closest to us. The isolation makes it worse - for them and for you.
If you suspect depression, please don't wait for it to pass. Ask. Listen. Get help.
