My ds 17 is off school with depression and anxiety. On meds and having therapy once a week. Has started going for a walk once a day but still spending most of the day in bed on phone or watching tv. Diet not great due to previous not eating but starting to improve.
Not getting any advice from CAMHs as to how to support him. Don’t really interact with them bar psychiatrist appointments which aren’t often.
Will hopefully be well enough to go back to school in Sep. Until then wondering what we should or could be doing to aid recovery. The days seem so long and don’t think sitting on his phone helps.
Do CAMHs normally advise on this or is there nothing we can really do?
