[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 345139, member: 7083"] The problem is the information she's getting from therapist isn't relevant to her. There is no reason I can think of for therapist to be reading to her the criteria for avoidant pd, dependent pd, paranoid pd, obsessive compulsive pd, schizoaffective pd. therapist diagnosis'd her last week with ADD, which has been ruled out for years, including in the neuropsychologist evaluation. It's the anxiety causing any ADD type symptoms. When she is calm, the attentional issues are not present. But, she does this without consulting with me first. So, now difficult child says she has Mixed PD and ADD - and those are her issues. therapist has never mentioned Mixed PD to me, only borderline. But, difficult child's perception of reality is skewed and she hears what she wants. She takes one sentence, one word, out of a conversation and extrapolates it. Completely out of context. And now we can't unring that bell. The damage has been done. This is a child who will refuse to listen to anything else once she's decided on something. She will want to be treated for ADD and will refuse anxiety medications. And I'm not putting her on a stimulant. It's not warranted and dangerous in her current state. In the meantime, she's becoming more and more unstable. difficult child is, among other things, a hypochondriac who is looking for a diagnosis that she wants - more or less. difficult child was on this ADD kick for a couple of weeks. And she got what she wanted. The therapist goes along with ADD, while her list of phobias grow by the day, her anxiety heightens to unparalleled heights and her panic attacks are severe, long, and frequent. And she doesn't seem to remember them. ETA: I am aware that the information has little or nothing to do with her panic attacks. She's had them for years. [/QUOTE]
