[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 252296, member: 2423"] Sharon, I'd be concerned that depression is contributing to social withdrawal, academic underachievement and weight loss/lack of appetite. Add that with mood swings, and I think this picture goes beyond typical teen. My daughter A does not have anorexia, but she lost weight between ages 13 and 14. At her check-up in January, she told her pediatrician that she likes being thin and that she feels some pressure from friends to look a certain way. The pediatrician was concerned enough that he is meeting with her monthly to talk about nutrition, healthy body image, peer pressure, etc. This is in addition to her weekly psychotherapy appointment. From reading your posts over the last several months, it seems to me that easy child is not responding all that well to her current medication combo. Inattention coupled with treatment-resistant depression can sometimes point to a more complicated mood disorder that requires a mood stabilizer. I'd definitely get her in to see the psychiatrist and discuss this possbility with him. Hugs. [/QUOTE]
