[QUOTE="lovemykid, post: 398749"] I may have done this wrong...replied to posts earlier...but don't see my post...so here I go...sorry, if the previous version shows up at some point... First off....Thank you all for your support. Yes, my son was officially diagnosed with depression, last week. He was prescribed Straterra - and started 4 days ago, hopefully to help with his ADHD and depression. My son's dad, drove out from CO to MA to speak with our son after his dad's phone calls and emails were unanswered. We all discussed the situation and I believe things are in a better place for all...time, of course, should help. His dad is playing it real soft on him...which I think will help mend their relationship. My son has a lot of anxiety over school and it is the main reason he is not attending...at first he said it was to get back at his dad...but, now I'm hearing that it is just too hard....on one hand he really likes school and on the other, is totally overwhelmed with the work load. He attends a charter school and the work is considerable. He is an extremely smart kid. His teachers are very understanding and have given him extra time to finish some long-term projects that he never started...but, still he is not starting... refuses my help...but can't move forward...he is STUCK. Meeting with the teachers tomorrow for an ISIT plan. My son says he is going to school tomorrow...fingers crossed. I've been through some tough stuff in my life...but, this is by far, the hardest and most heart-wrenching of them all. Thanks again. [/QUOTE]
