[QUOTE="JSales, post: 324392, member: 8560"] Thanks for your comments so far. My daughter is 13, hasn't quite hit puberty yet, much to her chagrin. So hormones are playing havoc with her right now. Her biological father did have substance abuse problems, but to be honest I don't know much about them. The one thing I kept hearing from his mother was that "he was such a naughty boy". Plus he's done some prison time for felonies. So I know there is some kind of conduct disorder there, I just don't know what exactly. Relations with that side of the family are non existent, so I won't be able to find anything more out. Considering the history of that family, it's actually better that my daughter has nothing to do with them anyway. I myself, am beginning to think I deal with ADD. After reading about it and symptoms, etc., I'm seriously considering seeing my doctor and getting treated for it. My daughter has not been re-evaluated by a psychologist since she was first diagnosed, but she does see her pediatrician every 6 months for physical check ups. She is due one soon, so I may be talking with her more about these issues and seeing what she suggests. Unfortunately, my insurance won't allow my daughter to see a psychologist unless she is showing signs of depression, extreme anxiety, etc. Conduct disorders is not something they provide treatment for other than medications. There are also no support groups available through them. And yes, with finances being tight, I can't afford to find a psychologist outside of my insurance. My daughter currently takes a form of time release Ritalin. She was on Concerta, but again, prescription coverage changes caused me to change medications just so I can afford to keep her on them. When she is not on medications, everything is worse. Since I posted a couple of days ago, my husband and I discussed purchasing lunch tickets so she can at least eat lunch at school. But my daughter did tell me that she doesn't like eating lunch in the cafeteria because of the noise level.
