Naomi,
This has to be the fear of many parents sending children off to college. From a distance, can they tell if their child is home sick, just sad or depressed? And, the new black box policy for prescribing medication could be backfiring, http://middleschool.suite101.com/article... Something to watch closely, for sure.

Thanks for that great link, Barb!

I'm sure this is something parents of college students fear quite a bit when their kids go to school (among other things!) Most colleges and universities do have great resource centers for helping students that are well experienced in the kinds of problems students encounter. I hope that's a little comforting to parents.
