[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 312787, member: 1233"] Welcome! I must strongly suggest you have a complete and total evaluation done by a neuropsychologist or have a multidisciplinary evaluation done. The multidisc evaluation is usually done at a university or children's hospital (both are usually outpatient evaluations) and involves a number of professionals who each test your child and then they work together to figure out the diagnosis. The on/off behavior you describe seems like some kind of bipolar disorder. Bipolar is also a spectrum, and can seem far less intense than the stereotypical bipolar disorder shown in the media. If she is better but still depressed on the zoloft then it is NOT the right medication. Zoloft can cause very bad things to happen after it is taken for several months. After 4-5 months on it my son was suicidal and so full of intense anger that it scared us badly. Him included. With the presence of any mood disorder (depression included) it is very important to first rule out bipolar before any antidepressants are given. AD's can cause a whole world of problems for someone with bipolar. They cause mood cycling and many other problems. Please get full evaluations done before much else happens. If they need to put her inpatient to get her to cooperate then it will be very much worth it. No matter how she fights it. [/QUOTE]
