[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 344137, member: 7083"] difficult child and I saw therapist together. The ADD questionnaire that difficult child had completed last week - and which therapist did, in fact, tell difficult child that I would have to complete it as well - rates difficult child as "classic" ADD. therapist said she scored over the top. She also said that our responses to the questions were very close. She used the Amen Clinic ADD Questionnaire. So, now therapist thinks that the anxiety and panic may be from ADD due to the results from the questions that had to do with the limbic system. I don't know. I really don't know how to put it all together. For some reason, the school psychiatric called therapist a few weeks ago (no idea why) and she owes him a phone call. She is going to share this information with him and hope it will help at the IEP meeting. She also recommends trying Adderal (sp?), seeing what happens, and go from there on whether we continue to treat the anxiety separately. I'm so confused. I'm so tired. I don't know what to make of this. All along, everyone has said it's not ADD, it's anxiety. I don't know what to think or what to do. In my gut we need to treat the anxiety, but therapist is saying that treating the ADD may also treat the anxiety. Her anxiety just seems way too severe for that, though. :whiteflag::whiteflag::whiteflag: [/QUOTE]
