In this ReachOut Australia video, Gavin shares his experience supporting his teenage daughter through depression. He recalls first noticing changes in her mood and behaviour during a family holiday - she became withdrawn, slept poorly, and lost interest in activities she once loved. After open discussions as a family, his daughter chose to seek professional help through her school counsellors and a psychologist, which led to a formal diagnosis and treatment plan. Gavin reflects on how emotionally challenging it was to watch his daughter struggle, emphasising that parents shouldn’t blame themselves for not fully understanding what their child is going through.
