My younger son suffered from depression for about 10 years as a result of the trauma he suffered at the Hillsborough disaster (Hillsborough disaster - Wikipedia). At the time he was 17. 96 people died there and I sometimes thought they were the lucky ones! I used to go on long hikes with him whenever he was up for it and that helped for a while. Eventually it was CBT that started his journey back to a better life. Prescribed drugs just seemed to prolong the misery or avert it for a while. My other son chose to study psychotherapy as a result of his brother's experiences and works in that field today. He specialises in CAT.My younger son still has his daily routines to help him maintain the progress he has made - yoga, meditation and he continued with CBT for several years. The good news is that he has married, has a good job, has children and lives in a really nice town now. My biggest hope is that he never suffers a relapse.
