SIGNS YOUR SON NEEDS A BOYS’ DEPRESSION TREATMENT PROGRAM
Have you noticed that your child is getting progressively worse? Do they live under a cloud of sadness or always seem like they are in a bad mood? Boys that talk about how sad or droopy they are all the time need boys’ depression treatment. If so, then speak with your child about depression and adolescent mental health treatment.
Teen depression is a severe issue. 10–12% of adolescents ages 12–17 reported that they have struggled with depression in the last year. Depression occurs when your son feels like they are in a constant state of sadness or gloominess. Depression can cause an adolescent to lose motivation and become withdrawn. You may also notice that your child is doing poorly in school if their grades suddenly drop. They may also have no interest in going out with friends or doing much outside of the home.
Common signs of depression include:
- Apathy – loss of interest in things they otherwise enjoy
- Difficulty concentrating or staying focused on anything
- Excessive guilt even when there is no reason to feel guilty
- Abrupt changes in different areas of life (friends, interests)
- Compulsive behaviors such as overeating or substance use
- Fascination with death or dying
If your son exhibits any or all of these signs, don’t delay. Sign them up for a boys’ depression treatment program before it’s too late.
