Mental illness is not generally from parental pressure and the inability to make one’s own path is usually a result of the illness, not a cause. There is so much parent-blaming out there in the system. This may very well be a diagnosable case of a brain-based and/or genetic clinical condition. We know very little about the boy’s family so I think judgment may be premature. He may have seemed much happier before going back to school.

So glad this worked out for this young man, and that he is safe. I hope he is hospitalized so that he is truly safe if suicidal thoughts are present.
