W: Hey, how are you doing?
M: Uh, I guess okay... kind of...
W: What’s going on? It seems you have something.
M: It is about my son Jason. For about six months, he’s been really down, and sometimes I can’t get him out of bed in the morning to go to school. He just seems so depressed. I just can’t figure it out.
W: So, this has been going on like half a year?
M: I just thought it would just kind of go away, and I just thought things would just get better.
W: But that’s not, right? That’s pretty worrisome. Have you considered taking him to see a therapist, or a psychologist, or anybody?
M: Ah, no. It’s probably just a phase or something. I think some kids were picking on him at school, but I think that’s stopped. He doesn’t talk about it, so I guess that’s over.
W: Well, you know, I don’t know about that with the bullying or whatever, but you really need to seriously address it.
M: I don’t know, and his girlfriend just broke up with him, so I guess maybe that’s had an impact on him.
W: Yeah, it has. Uh, that explains a lot. Um, have you looked at his Facebook page lately? He posted some stuff, and I think it was last night around midnight, talking about how much life sucks, wishing he could just disappear. Some of the things he wrote are signs of suicide, and really worried me.
M: Oh, what should I do? I’m just kind of at a loss here.
W: You know. I was talking to a woman the other day about her daughter. There are crisis numbers you can call. Also, you could go to the emergency room, and they do assessments there.
M: What kind of assessment?
W: Psychological assessments. It might be kind of hard to get him out to the hospital, but you need to take this seriously.
M: I don’t know.
W: It’s really important because you’ve got to get on top of it. He needs you; he needs to know that you really love him, that you’re not just ignoring this.
M: You know, I recently noticed some marks on his arms the other day. These marks kind of looked like some scratches, or something...
W: I saw those too, and those aren’t scratches. They’re too deep to be scratches. He’s doing self-harm, too.
M: Oh, man.
W: You know, um, these are really serious things, and he’s crying out for help. He doesn’t know how to handle what is going on in his life. He’s really struggling.
M: Right. Maybe you’re right. Send me that information about the Psychological assessments. I’ll start looking at it.
