My son has done B. Tech and is preparing for America, but he keeps sitting in his room and is oblivious to the outside world, I have repeatedly told him to go out and be a little social, but he doesn't listen, I think he might become a victim of depression. I can't understand what to do
Ans: Dear Om,
He is old enough to know when to go out and when to be by himself.
You start to worry only if he has begun to show signs of not socializing at home, poor hygiene, poor eating habits. loss of interest in things that used to give him joy...
Till then, I kindly urge you not to get into any diagnosis on your own. This will cause you to become more anxious and instead of helping your son, you will end up worrying and nagging him.
Simply understand him for who he is now and support him with love and care. If you see any of the above signs prolonging for over 2 weeks, seek professional help. That's your sign to wake up and do something...
Be at ease...
All the best!
