[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 170797, member: 1498"] I am really beginning to believe that the biggest -- the underlying -- issue with a lot of our kids is anxiety. With a child with a history of anxiety, I would be very, very careful about starting a stimulant. So the thinking is that the excutive functioning is causing the anxiety and by adding the stimulant the executive functioning will improve and thus reduce the anxiety? Not that the anxiety is causing the executive functioning problems and that the stimulant will increase the anxiety? Or even that the stimulant [I]will[/I] help the executive functioning -- as it does for most people -- but will, nevertheless, increase anxiety. What the neuropsychologist proposes seems counterintuitive to me. [/QUOTE]
