What advice would a priest give to a parent with a troubled son?

like if their son was depressed, or wouldn't communicate, and a parent went to their priest/Father and talked to him, what exactly would he tell the parents? thanksWhat advice would a priest give to a parent with a troubled son?
I am not a priest, or Catholic but I am a parent and this is what I would tell you.





Become a friend to your son. Talk to him and go have a hamburger and see a movie together. Play games with him and take an interest in everything he does. Try and overlook his depression and non communication. But the goal here is to find out what is bothering him and become a person he can trust and talk to.


No matter how good the child there is always some amount of strife before the raising job is finished. Do the best you can and forgive yourself when you fall short.What advice would a priest give to a parent with a troubled son?
get some anti-depressants?
