[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 553527, member: 11791"] Lonelyroad... I didn't know you were in Canada. If you're in Ontario, there are several other board members from there who might have specific info. We "almost" got to school refusal... not quite. We ended up with a crisis, which (finally) led to a third round of comprehensive evaluation... and finally some of the dxes we needed. But the damage was done. It's only been the last year or so that we've seen any impact on mood disorders, and that has required significant modifications to medications. I'm assuming you have both a therapist and a psychiatrist. When it comes to medications, you NEED the psychiatrist. Yes, they are the "pill-pushers" (or in our case, the "pill-controllers")... ours has been good to work with, but it takes time to get in, and time to adjust medications (we've had appointments 6-8 weeks apart for over a year... normal spacing is 4-6 MONTHS) On-line learning should be an option. Homebound schooling should also be an option (in some parts of Canada, at least) - this is where the kid is medically identified as ill and unable to attend... and they send a teacher out to bring work and try to keep the kid up with peers as much as possible.
