Teach your child that he hires his team. He needs to know how to advocate for himself. He needs to know the medication he is taking and have a say if you choose him to take medicine. He means and that you ar you' and that you're there for him. That people go through the same thing his age. Find a group that helps kids with depression then that would be a good idea.
You said he's going to therapy right? Help him find his voice so that when he's not well therapy goes smoother for him. Whether it be writing, art or something else to communicate with the therapist.
Its hard the guilt will eat you up if you let it remember this isn't your fault.
