Hi all, I’m new here so not sure if I’m putting this in the correct spot. Without going into too much detail for my first post (as I could be here a while!) my son has been displaying signs of depression and has been self harming very recently. I have made him an appointment with a gp today but as he is 15 I am not allowed to attend unless he gives permission. My concern is that he doesn’t really want to go and if I don’t attend with him I am worried that he won’t tell the doctor the full story or let them know about the self harming and then he may lie to us about what he has said. If this happens, does anyone know what our next steps could be? It sounds like we won’t even get a chance to speak to his doctor to let them know our concerns and I’m worried he won’t get the help he needs. Thanks ... View more
