My 13 year old son is very shy to the point of being withdrawn.he is starting to lose interest in activities and has no friends.how can i help?

Treatment: Possibly you son is depressed and has social fears. Best to have him see his physician first to rule out medical conditions. Then a referral to a psychologist and/or psychiatrist who specializes in treating teens will help.
