[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 48174, member: 1991"] There are other aspects to anxiety that are NOT mental health in basis. Ask his father - would he let his pride get in the way of finding some real help for his son? The sort of help that he would have benefited from back in his day? Why force the lad to endure what the dad had to put up with? Things have changes, there is a lot more support these days, the sooner the boy gets appropriate support, the sooner he will begin to use those special abilities he has, and learn to overcome the difficulties that anxiety and ADHD also give him. If you look at anxiety not as difficult child's fault, but as difficult child's response to a world that isn't really giving him a fair go, and then work to equip difficult child with the strategies he can use to help him 'plug in' to the world (and for you to be able to show everybody else the right way to support difficult child) then any finding has to be an advantage. Anxiety is the label. It is not the condition. There are a number of underlying conditions which have anxiety as one observable trait. And depending on which condition is the underlying cause, the treatments and management vary. But help is available, you just need to know WHICH help. And for that, you need to know what's beneath it all. Answers. Or is husband afraid of the possible truths he will be told? I can understand - my sister was like that with her boys. But finding out the truth was far less painful than she thought, and immediately she was able to use the new knowledge to get help. Denial does so much damage. It's the most often used coping tool and it's a bad one because it blocks access to so much help. Welcome to the site. Can you get husband to come along and play, too? Mine does, it has really helped in so many ways. Marg [/QUOTE]
