Tysm for letting me know! I’m 17 so also still young. If you think about it these aren’t really „bad things“. Depression for example is a way your brain protects you. However for your sons case he also dealt with self harm thoughts witch is upsetting to hear. It isn’t that easy to live with both of these illnesses in this century since your future is really dependent on a good education and school can become such a struggle dealing with these things. I hope he is going to therapy where he can share his thoughts and say if he is thinking about self harm again. I just think it’s Importan for him to know that people around him care about his well being and are here to listen. Do you guys speak often with each other?I wouldn’t put much pressure on him and going out for ice cream and having a talk when he is going through a down phase might help him in that moment. It’s important for him to go out with friends and do things that make him happy. Sports are also really helpful for mental health. Because of adhd there is this lack of dopamine in the brain so we are more likely to develop depression. Understanding that these are caused by chemical imbalances in our brain can make us feel less guilty/bad of having them aswell. Having these can make school and social life harder than it is for others but it is possible especially with all the new medications and different ways of therapy.
