[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 272908, member: 3444"] Welcome! This a wonderful site, full of very experienced and caring parents of children with a wide, wide range of issues. Your daughter sounds like there is definitely something going on that is way beyond typical ADHD. If I had to guess, I'd say some type of mood disorder. The fact that there's a family history of schizophrenia does not bode well for her, as many mental illnesses have a genetic component. You are wise to seek help for her now, before things get any worse. Has she ever had a thorough evaluation by anyone? Many of us here have found that pediatric psychiatrists are better equipped to diagnose our children whose symptoms are unusual or over the top than your run-of-the-mill psychologist. Also, there are professionals called neuropsychologists who are specially trained in how the brain works in relation to learning, behavior and psychology. An evaluation by a neuropsychologist can be invaluable in determining exactly how your child's brain works and why. When you get a chance, please create a signature like one of those you see here. It's a quick way for us to remember your particular info. You can learn more about the abbreviations commonly used here under the FAQ section. [/QUOTE]
