[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 84028, member: 2423"] Hi Marg, I'm sorry things have been so rough in your household lately. Is easy child 2/difficult child 2 on any medications for her ADD? If so, could they be making her moody? I think you first need to rule out medical causes for her change in mood -- hormonal imbalances from menstruation, pregnancy, thyroid, strep (which can cause Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) symptoms on occasion), etc. If all checks out normally, it definitely sounds as if she has anxiety. And being anxious can spill over into depression fairly quickly. It almost doesn't matter whether she has AS or not at this point. If she's suffering from the symptoms, they need to be treated. As you well know, these symptoms are treated with medications or therapy or a combination of both. Good luck at the doctor. Please let us know how it goes. [/QUOTE]
