[QUOTE="Josie, post: 218772, member: 1792"] I was in a similar situation last year at this time. My daughter was only 9 though so I didn't get that teenage defiance from her. She started out with what we thought was legitimate illness from a/d withdrawal or side effects. She was complaining about headaches and feeling sick. She had a temperature of about 99 - 99.5 at the highest. Her doctors could find nothing wrong with their testing and were suggesting "depression". We were torn between wondering if she was really feeling bad or if it was "just depression" and wondering if we should let her stay home until she felt better or get tough and make her go to school. One day, we told her she couldn't watch TV if she stayed home, so she laid in bed and slept all day. Again, it was hard to tell if it was physical or mental illness. Finally, after much online research and several doctors, she was diagnosis'ed with a chronic illness. My regret is in doubting her when she told me she was sick and not depressed. [/QUOTE]
