Bill3, you have a point. Both of my children have seen my rise and fall owing to my mental health. This includes debilitating periods of Depression. I have opened the channels of communication about my health and that they should not be afraid to address theirs if needed. I see a great deal of myself in my daughter. In particular I recognise not only the onset of Depression but the stubborness to acknowledge it. Last night I came right out and asked if she felt Depressed. The answer of course was "No." I did manage to point out that she has an EAP just a phone call away.

I thank you for the suggestion.

Perhaps if I were to talk positively about my own experience with therapy her fear to do so might be lessened.
