HI, Just wondering how I can assist my grown son, who is struggling with severe depression. Crying himself to sleep, going to bed in afternoon, and major depression.
Not sure how to assist him, as he is already on anti depression meds, and seeing a psychiatrist. How can I help him, as his mother. He is basicly a happy guy, but he may not be being open to me.

It's hard to see your kid struggling, I am happy to hear that he has supports around though. How long has he been seeing the psychologist?

Hi @Sisco2,
I am so sorry to hear your son is struggling. It must be hard for you to see him crying.
Has there been any significant life changes recently? And is he speaking to a counselor or psychologist?
