Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
I am trying to find a way to help my son. My friend leahanne (her ds name) asked for advice on here about my son who was masturbating constantly! I guess a lot of people on here suggested that my son may have sexually abused. I have done a bit of research and spoken to some professionals, and found that it probably IS the case. I have dealt with depression for many years and this seems to have pushed me over the edge. I want to help my son rather than be consumed with my own issues of sexual abuse. What should I do? I asked the psychologist that and she said "why don't you make an appointment?" This isn't about me, it's about my son. I'm a bit confused.

Maybe she meant make an appointment for your son?

how old is your son?

No, he already has an appointment. It makes me fear that she is only worried about billable hours.

He is 13.
