I grew up with Cindy Crawford (she's a year older than me) and I watched her kids grow up over the years. She seemed to enjoy her family life and things appeared to be going well in the early days. As a former special education teacher with a background in clinical psychology I was struck by her son Presley's cries for help on his social media accounts. I found myself "checking in" on him from time to time out of concern. I could see he was in trouble, and I assumed he would have access to the best help in the world, given the wealth and means of his parents.
I have no way of knowing what exactly Presley was dealing with, other than what he described as being highly anxious, depressed, and not feeling like himself a great deal of the time. He was suffering and he described feeling very "alone." I don't know if he had a counselor/therapist or if he only saw psychiatrists for the many medications he was taking. What I do know is that he needed someone to walk with him through the terrifying places where he was venturing. He needed to be supervised while he was attempting to detox.
There can be many reasons why he was going it alone--there may be no one to blame, although people often jump to that thought. Presley may have had a ton of support but just wasn't feeling it. He had a lot of followers and family who often showed support for his effort to work through his struggles. Presley fought a valiant fight, as do most people struggling with mental health issues.
I wish Presley had contacted Dr. Daniel Amen--who does brain scans before he prescribes medication to patients. I came across Dr. Amen's books when I was learning how to teach kids with ADD/ADHD. His books changed the way I helped my struggling students. Dr. Amen helped me tremendously as a teacher and later as a counselor for juveniles in residential treatment.
If anyone I knew was struggling with mental health issues, addiction, trauma, brain injury--or any conditions that require brain medications--I would take them to Dr. Amen. He's been doing brain spect scans for decades. And yet the psychiatry field is still woefully behind in this area. As Dr. Amen often comments--psychiatry is the only medical field that does not look at the organ (the brain) it treats. But he does, and I only wish that Presley (and Hayden, and Matthew, and so many others lost) had known about Dr. Amen.

Discussions about family life often blend into my business consulting conversations. It's a natural connection to my background in education, counseling, and family caregiving.
I created this free Family Leadership Guide to help families build practical leadership skills through everyday conversations and activities.

Inside, families will explore four essential areas:

THINK • COMMUNICATE • DECIDE • LEAD

The activities encourage children and teens to think through problems, express ideas clearly, consider consequences, make thoughtful choices, set goals and take meaningful first steps.

Designed for families with children from approximately third grade through high school—and flexible enough for adults to participate alongside them.

How do we lead through stressful events? Do we succumb to the quick fixes that don't really fix anything or do we make intentional choices? I'm often reminded of Brad Pitt's character in Moneyball when he works out to deal with the stress he feels trom the obstacles in his way. How do you respond to stress in your life?
