[QUOTE="klmno, post: 193449, member: 3699"] I thought neuropsychologist testing was not going to help with my son, but it did help reveal some things and it has helped again even a year later. It's good you're having this done, even though it is expensive. As far as mood disorders, MWM is right. Of course, we can't diagnose here (diagnosis) but from our exxperience, depression and anxiety run in my family, although no one has needed to be hospitalized and everyone works and is completely functional- family, homes, etc. Now my son, he has mood cycling and possibly will end up with a bipolar label all his life- actually it is a very good possibility. I have come to find that a lot of professionals are starting to look at the mood disorders (depression, bipolar, anxiety, etc) as a spectrum, where one person might be on one end and another in the family might fall somewhere else on that line. There is a lot of research underway these days on issues our kids are dealing with and that gives us a lot of hope. Even with the limited knowledge available now, there are many success stories. I know it feels like a desparate situation to come to terms with your child having a mental health problem or learning disability, whatever the case may be. But be assured, you are doing the right thing and the best thing for your child. If you didn't come to terms with it and accept it and seek help and support for your child, you wouldn't be able to help him/her. Hang in there!! [/QUOTE]
