[QUOTE="overwhelmed, post: 74887, member: 4067"] I have been diagnosed with depression but don't take the medications because they don't make me feel any better. I have dealt with deppression with-o medications for 30 yrs and will continue to do so. My late mother also battled depression most of her life. On her father's side she has a brother, sister and 2 cousins that have been diagnosed with adhd and 1 cousin that exhibits symtoms but has not been diagnosed. Her brother on her father's side also has been diagnosed with dyslexia. I don't know if there are any other diagnoses. I don't really stay in touch with that side of her family because they only bother with her once in a while when they feel like acknowledging her. They are all into dealing and/or using drugs and are not the role models I want for my child. She has a brother and sister on my side who have no issues. Essence was evaluated by a psychiatrist in NY who said she couldn't help her and I would have to send her away for 60 day evaluation. As I said I could not do that. She is on medications only for asthma and seasonal allergies. She can make friends but often does not keep them for long because of her mood swings. They see her happy and they think something is wrong with her because she is out of control or the see her upset and are afraid because she is out of control. She also has problems with her peers because she occasionally has accidents due to her kidney and bladder problems. Kids are cruel and don't understand that she can't help it. I am not aware of any developmental or speech delays. If she doesn't know you she will act like she doesn't know how to speak but once she gets to know you watch out because she won't stop talking. Again its one extreme or the other with no happy medium. I don't really know about the sensory issues. Sometimes tags will bother her and I have to cut them out and she is bothered by bras with clasps in the back. As she develops it becomes increasingly harder to find bras she likes. I guess most 9 yr olds do not wear a size 34B bra. She will soon need a C. [/QUOTE]
