hi to everyone
so i got the results of my little one's evaulation at hospital. weird is all i can say i think. i'm still digesting.
she said that she has Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) generalized anxiety disorder which i pretty much knew forever. then she said taht she is clinically and severely depressed? i said what? she said that difficult child wrote alot of negative things about herself during hte interview questions and stuff which she did it was sad and i did see it. yet that was that week her view of her. she was withdrawn that week quiet a little down.
this week she's up socially doing well in school, etc. and hasn't slept much we refilled chlonidine thank goodnes.
so i said to her so what your telling me is that my difficult child has been depressed since she's about 4? cause that's how long i've been seeing these behaviors?? she said sure it can happen your divorce 7 years ago hit her hard when she realized it happened. she would do anything to have you two back and mentioned it quite frequently. so i saisd ok why is she happy at time sthen and flying on top of a cloud it seems? she said all depressed people have ups and downs. it's not an even flow. yet now left untreated it's getting to a dangerous level.
so i said what about when we ran out of chlonidine at two nights she was up till 5 a.m. adn the third night she crashed at 11? what about that?
she said maybe she has a sleepdisorder. i said if she had one wouldn't her sleep be affected eveyrnight not just certain nights almost in the shape of a pattern? she said no not necessarily.
then i said ok so what makes you think it's not bi polar? not that i want her to have it yet i wasn't feeling her diagnosis. she said it doens't appear to be bi polar because she doenst' exhibit the behaviors in school. she is withdrawn in school from what the school says and anxiety ridden. i said ok did they tell you about hte day she suddenly out of blue decided to do a stand up presentation that was due? she'd never do that normally?
so i dont know what to think at this opint. 4k for what? do i think my difficult child views herself badly? yes wthout a doubt do i thin kshe views herself like this all the time? no not at all. that's just it there are swings up and downs.
so now according Occupational Therapist (OT) her weekly therapy, medications for the depression and a 504 in place at school.
any thoughts i'd love to hear them i'm a little aggrivated. seh also said the sensory issues the focus issues the germ issues are all due to her anxiety disorder because she's hyper vigilant.
thanks
