Talking Mental Health With Your Adult Child
It's difficult to know what to do when your adult child has the symptoms of a mental illness. We encourage our children to be independent and take care of themselves. But what do we do as a parent if our adult child is struggling with depression, anxiety and mania? It's often hard to know what to say or do if you feel like they should seek treatment, especially if they don't recognize the issue themselves. This is a common issue for parents since mood disorders often appear in young adults at about the age that they are trying to set out on their own.
