Hi. My daughter is 17 and she has become very socially anxious and depressed. I don't know what caused it, if anything and she doesn't tell me. It happened very suddenly and it feels like she just changed. How can I help? I don't want to pressure her to open up to me, but if something bothers her, I want to be able to help. How do I approach this situation? Should I keep asking her if everything is ok or propose therapy or just let it be?

Hi @Michel! How are you?

Thank you very much for starting this discussion. I think the fact that you are trying to help and are aware of something being off is the first step to helping your daughter. I think it is important to create a safe environment for her to open up when she feels ready. I will ask other members and hopefully, we all can help your family.

Hey everyone! How is your day going?

How do you think @Michel should approach this situation? What to do when you notice someone in your family getting depressed and socially anxious? How to express support without coming off as pushy?

Take care,

Polina from the Carenity team
