[QUOTE="keista, post: 475821, member: 11965"] Hi and welcome. It doesn't sound like changing schools will be the answer right now. Honest and truly? He sounds depressed. As [B]Hound[/B] mentioned, it's possible that he does have undiagnosed issues, but even if there aren't, the change from elementary to middle schools, coinciding with puberty = crazy turmoil. My son hit the wall of depression at the same time as yours. It was not pretty, but fortunately not as bad as it could have been. Yeah, pretty much all homework and classwork (never were issues before) ceased to get done. Only after I got him medicated, did he pull out of the funk. Yes, he may have issues other than ADHD that may be affecting him, so it's prudent to get him fully evaluated. A visit with a psychiatrist (psychiatrist) is also a good idea. psychiatric er won't necessarily prescribe or recommend medication, especially for this type of "mild" case. They didn't for my son. Doesn't mean that medication is not necessary, just means he was stable enough for discharge. IOW not in any IMMEDIATE danger from himself. Good luck and welcome again! :notalone: [/QUOTE]
