You're doing the best thing for your son by getting him the support he needs. It hurts to see your child suffer, but he's learning tools that will help him and that's great. Be sure to take care of yourself, though. You're still a role model for your son even though he's also learning to become his own person. Show him that you can have depression and still have a life.

My teenage daughter and I both suffer from depression and anxiety. By being her advocate and practicing good self-care, I'm teaching her things I wish I had when I was going through the same things at her age.
