Can anyone comment on experiences getting a “diagnosis” after already being in college for one year and experiencing a major struggle managing coursework? I have a student who has refused to get help in high school even though he struggled. Because of his hard work he managed to be accepted into a good university. After two semesters, "everything" is kind of falling apart (social, self, academics/work). Compounding that, he is now depressed and avoiding leaving his dorm. He is realizing that hard work and good intentions may not be enough to pursue his goals. He may be engaging in risky-type behaviors (not drugs) to drown out reality. I'm looking for ways to help him as he chooses to help himself that respects his autonomy.
First, I’m hoping to hear from others who have either navigated this situation as a support person or a striving student. Does anyone have resources especially for this situation? As you may have guessed, the student is not super-communicative, so having a step by step plan for himself as well as his support system would be a great way to anchor conversations about assistance and/or treatment.
Thank you in advance for your time and help!
