when i read this i didnt think he was speaking about a teenager , but rather someone in their early 20s...
i think some of the haste to jump onto meds comes from people thinking that depression/anxiety of this nature is somethign they should have learned to deal with by their twenties , and to not be so secure with themselves yet is such a teenage thing , and thats embarassing . yet i talk with SO MANY people in their early 20s or later that that do have these issues and think they are the only person with these issues . its sad/frustrating . (i was this way and am still learning , but thigns got easier when i opened up JUST ENOUGH to see this happening around me . )
