Hello
My son has been falling into a deeper and deeper depression. We approached our GP about this who then got us, and my sons school to fill out a couple of screener questionnaires - the results of which indicate that he is both ASD and ADHD.
My son has taken this news quite badly, I think mainly because of his anxiety levels which are high at the best of times and worries about the what this means for his future. Over xmas he has talked about suicide and has self harmed. I have booked an appointment with a psychiatrist today as CAMHS have a long backlog before they can put him in front of anyone.
I wonder if any parents on here have gone through similar and can offer any advice? I am finding it so difficult to get any guidance other than 'hide the sharp things'.
Thank you, from a really desperate mum.
