[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 686815, member: 11791"] I hope this doesn't sound harsh. But I'm going to answer from a kid's perspective, not as a parent. Of COURSE he has some depression. If you've had to struggle for years with anxiety plus who knows what all else, and nothing has ever helped, it's a natural pit to fall into. Technically, there can be anxiety without a cause. Usually, in kids at least, anxiety has triggers. They (the anxieties) get downplayed by teachers, made fun of by kids, and ignored by adults. So the problems don't get fixed, the anxieties get worse, and before long, you're bullied by both students and teachers. Stop looking at it as a "behavior problem". Yes, his behavior IS a problem. But it is not THE problem. Have you read "The Explosive Child" by Ross Green? (sp?) [/QUOTE]
