[QUOTE="klmno, post: 340846, member: 3699"] Given my experience and knowledge of others in my family, many times the same things that cause/trigger depression also trigger anxiety. I tend to think that with many people, the genetic predisposition for these things is there and it might not take as much of a major situation to trigger it into becoming an active problem, which happens around puberty a lot of times when chemicals/hormones are not balanced the same in the body anymore anyway. Dr. S, who led difficult child's MDE also said something along those lines and she said that some of these kids who have MD's that appear true BiPolar (BP) thru adolescence, but not before, might stable out some after puberty and the chemicals/hormones stabilize on an adult level (mid-late teens usually) and they would not meet the criteria for BiPolar (BP) in that case, but still might have a milder MD or anxiety, etc. that they need to watch. I think I've gotten too Occupational Therapist (OT)- sorry!! [/QUOTE]
