Patient's question:
My child was born in December 2003, and he is 15 years old this year. In the past two years, he has undergone significant changes, particularly in his psychology. He often feels that life is meaningless, sometimes even thinks about death but is afraid of hurting his family, and has many random, nonsensical thoughts. I would like to ask a doctor for help to diagnose the issue and learn about the treatment options.Doctor's answer:
At the age of 15, as parents, we must clearly understand that our children have entered adolescence. The individual transformation of children is gradually approaching maturity, and they are also in the process of improvement. During this stage, what is needed more is the attention of family members rather than control, and recognition rather than confinement. Give children more space. However, currently, many situations of children should be treated with various medications for depression symptoms, while also integrating psychological counseling.
