[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 502126, member: 7083"] Your child sounds like a younger version of mine, almost to a T, so I am going to relay my experience. For years and years, we didn't have a solid diagnosis. Because of that I resisted medications. I didn't want to [I]just[/I] medicate symptoms. If I could go back, I would do it differently. I think not trying medications (and medication trials haven't been easy) has only made her suffer longer, and made some of the behaviors more ingrained. I think it has affected her self-esteem and confidence. She feels like a failure and that she can't do anything right. So, I would go to a psychiatrist and see what s/he thinks. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
