Yesterday, my 15 year old son took the day off school and went walking complete with back pack - ready to leave home (I think) Fortunately, he did come back as we were out looking for him and came across him having been looking for him for 5 hours.

He is very down and irritable and I wondered if anyone had experiences of teenage depression.

I am off to the Docs tomorrow with him, hopefully, and might get some help.

If anyone has any experiences of this, can you advise what you did.

Thank you.
