Being a good person does not include standing by, silently, while being endangered, shamed, embarrassed, controlled, or abused.

Ci, the gender non-binary person from Utah, described the physical symptoms of panic attacks (not the physical symptoms of depression, as Ci had stated) starting in the 3rd grade.
Both diagnoses can give debilitating symptomatology. Both diagnoses often cohabitate the same sufferer.
The misinterpretation of symptoms (by a patient/client) and the misdiagnosis by a medical professional may send a patient/client down the wrong path of therapies for years.
As an aside, many who suffer with undiagnosed, or untreated, panic disorder will often become depressed due to the persistent dysfunction and disability from the panic.
For a variety of reasons, many of our pediatric and adolescent population develop extremely uncomfortable psychological symptoms (loneliness, sadness, fear, shame, embarrassment, anxiety, abandonment, etc).
If there is a significant delay in communicating, or a total lack of communicating, these symptoms to an appropriate, helpful, adult, then the natural drive to “self-explain”, or self-treat these psychological discomforts falls on the youngster, who has to use any source or means available to their young minds.
Often there are seemingly adequate explanations for these discomforts, by observing their friends and family, or by watching and listening to a variety of media.
Self-treatments (anything to decrease the internal tensions and unpleasant feelings) for these youngsters include everything from avoidance, to isolation, to distractions (e.g. screentime), to self-medication, to self harm.

Parents’ behaviors may range from somewhat to totally pathological. Often this is due to their own mental health issues, ignorance, how they were treated, or how they were taught to raise children.
I’m a firm believer that our traumatized adults (who may have everything from personality issues, to depression, to anxiety, to PTSD to ADHD) have to be shown/taught WHAT their parents did/didn’t do to them/for them (identify and put a name to the actions), potentially WHY the parents did such things (often admitting there is no way for us to know for sure), ACCEPTING (not forgetting, but not necessarily forgiving, either) that these events happened, then with current talk therapy and other techniques, UNLEARN habits/behaviors/internal talk, while REPLACING these habits/behaviors/techniques with more healthy/less dysfunctional habits/behaviors/techniques.
The hardest part is the FORGIVENESS OF ONE’S SELF for the shame, guilt, and the lost/wasted: time, money, energy, opportunities, and relationships.
