[QUOTE="crazymama30, post: 280130, member: 3184"] I would encourage a check up. I do know that depression is more common in older adults, mainly due to the problems that everyone else listed. The depression you are talking about, the black hole flatness, that seems pretty serious. Since he has always had problems with that is there any way to get him to see a therapist or psychiatrist? One of the ladies has a difficult child, and she got pretty depressed. I guess they now use small doses of abilify for depression. It made a huge difference in her, and helped her with her obsessive tendencies also. I believe Lamictal is also used sometimes. Just some more info incase the zoloft does not work out. Hugs. It is hard to be what I call a 1 1/2 parent household with one difficult child, let alone 2. Not sure if summer makes things easier or harder, but here's hoping it makes it easier. [/QUOTE]
