The Campus Cure is an informative book for parents on how to support your college-age child through the labyrinth of pitfalls that may befall them. The book divides these situations into three main categories; Problems, Pressures, and Crises.

The Problems section covers things like Anxiety, Depression, Substance Abuse, and Academic Hiccups.

The Pressures section covers such things as Loneliness, Perfectionism, Culture, Sexuality, Gender Challenges, and Financial Stresses.

Crises are things like Rape, Suicidal Behaviors, Eating Disorders, and Psychosis.

Written by someone that is both a Psychiatrist and a Mother of two college-age people, this is a thorough and thoughtful account of things that can happen and how to reasonably deal with these issues without stepping on your now adult child’s toes.

Even if you are an hour’s drive away, this person on the other end of a phone call is your child, breaking that tether is one of the most difficult things to do. Like if your child believes that they are having a heart attack from the sheer amount of anxiety they are going through. The book gives tons of good advice for all of these things. ( )
