Anxiety, Anger and Depression has a cost. And the greatest cost could be the life a child. Many parents are initially unware of their child is depressed until the situation escalates to self harm, falling grades, skipping school, anorexia or bullimia. Su***de is an extreme situation. Working with children, they sometimes share their su***de attempts. Sitting on a balcony rail in a daze. 5 minutes earlier they contemplated ending their life. But decided against it. But sitting a ledge in a daze, can accidentally result in a fall and death. So it is important to the right help if you child ever mentions of ending things. The good news is that it is possible to turn things around. With the right therapy, once the depression is lifted, the suicidal thoughts can go away and the child can be safe.
