A member asked:

For what reasons might an 18 year old suddenly stop talking to everyone?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Anxiety, Depression: This could just be a temporary problem that will subside or it could be depression or anxiety caused by social issues or relationship problems. Ask your child what the origin of their withdrawal is, approach him or her with love and tolerance and hopefully she or he will open up. My best.
