A few weeks ago our son was diagnosed with Post Concussion Syndrome from playing rugby in the spring. After back-tracking, we've concluded the last concussion he had was May 2013 and approximately 3 others during the season.

This diagnosis came while treating his severe anxiety and depression over the summer. He failed a concussion impact test but we were able to establish a baseline. It now makes sense to our son why he felt the way he felt but we are having some good days, bad days and we continue to have dark days.

He has a prescription for both his depression and sleep deprivation. We are only on week two of the depression medication.

We need help. We don't know what's right or wrong for our son. He is a senior in high school. It is difficult to unplug our son from school, sports, technology, music and friendships. We're considering half days at school. He has always worked hard for his grades but there is no motivation whatsoever. He knows and accepts no drinking or drugs. Our son understands no loud music or ear buds in ear. But, the dark days are overwhelming and we can't find the right thing to say or help him occupy his time in order to let the brain heal.

Does anyone have any suggestions or comments?? Has anyone been through this with a young, active teenager?? Like we said earlier, we would truly appreciate the help and guidance as we continue to work with his school and doctor(s). Thanks,
