What can parents do if they are concerned?

Keep a close eye on your son's

Write everything down, as this may help the GP recognise the signs
Seek help from your GP as soon as you are concerned.

Don’t be afraid to keep going back to your GP (every week if necessary)
Become an expert. Read as much as you can on the subject.

Talk to your son's tutor, head, sports staff or medical staff who should also (discreetly, and confidentially) be able to help you and your son.
