Re: Depression in High Achievers
I have suffered with it before and I was diagnosed with it once when I was 13-14, I don't remeber exactly and what helped me was a change in environment and new friends. I still get random spells of depression and I think mine stems from boredom, if you noticed a lot of high achievers need constant mental stimulation or else they get bored or their minds tend to wander. My big issue now is that my classes in school are pretty easy so they get very boring and I tend to wonder what I'm even still doing in high school. My advice to you is try to change stuff up though and maybe it'll help a bit.
