[QUOTE="klmno, post: 340833, member: 3699"] Boy do I DITTO that!! I went back thru and read the TDD list again- my son wouldn't have met it for a couple of reasons- at least two. I think my son sounds a lot like yours- in regards to their history in this area. I realize that the profs and DSM don't support this, but in my mind some of the specific anxiety disorders are mood disorders, or at least very closely related. (Not that anxiety is mis-diagnosis'd depression, but that some forms of anxiety seem like they shhould be called mood disorders to me.) My son shows clear signs of anxiety, as most in my family including myself, but they have never diagnosis'd him with it. At least not yet. I personally wish they had started looking at that and addressing it earlier but we all kept pushing for the treatment for the adjustment disorder first, but he didn't get it appropriately addressed anyway. SW, do you mind if I ask if J's depression came without anything situational causing it, or did something percieved or real happen that caused it (I'm not asking for what that was- just if you think a situation triggered it)??
