I just graduated college. I know many people who have had serious mental illness during. It almost cost me my best friend.
What I didn’t understand throughout this was the lack of realization that maybe going to a university a couple hundred of miles away from home wasn’t the answer. Peoples parents and themselves kept pushing them to stay in the environment they were in, at whatever cost to their friends around them watching them suffer. I’m all for being resilient and Working through problems, but when your kid is needing hospitalization , why not just throw in the towel? Perhaps this isn’t for you?
It seems weird to me that people are so attached to a degree from a specific university, or so attached to a plan they made when they were 18, they are willing to go through suicide attempts, starvation, hospitalization, etc in order to get it. I don’t see that as honorable, I see it as not being realistic about what environment you actually thrive in.

Course corrections are a part of the maturation process. The key point is the decision making process that leads to the course correction.
