I don't know how to help my son

My 17 year old son was diagnosed with clinical depression 3 months ago. He started camhs but it seems to have stopped. Yesterday I was called to his school as they were deeply worried for his safety. He told one of his friends that he was going to take all the pills he had managed to collect over the last few months. This morning I found his suicide note. I am so worried. We have managed to get an emergency appointment with camhs later today but I think he needs more than I can gve him at home. He won't talk with me or his older siblings.

Hi there Sunnyliz1965. We're sorry your DS is going through this and we hope you are able to get help very soon.

We hope you don't mind, but when these threads are flagged up to us we usually add a link to our Mental Health resources - here. You can also go to the Samaritans' website here, or email them on [email protected]. Support from other Mumsnetters is great and we really hope you will be able to take some comfort from your fellow posters, but as other MNers will tell you, it's really a good idea to seek RL help and support as well, which we can see you have already done.

All the best from MNHQ Flowers
