[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 116255, member: 1967"] Thanks DDD, Meowbunny and busywend. [b]DDD[/b] ~ easy child went through a rough patch this year. After giving up softball and her softball scholarship, she transferred to a new school. It turned out that she didn't like the new college very much and then things were compounded by a breakup. We knew that she was unhappy at Thanksgiving but it got worse right before Christmas and she called us one night sobbing that she didn't know what was wrong with her ~ that she was so unhappy, couldn't eat anything without throwing up, and couldn't sleep. This was so unlike my easy child. I've been on the CD board long enough to recognize situational depression when I see it so we jumped in the car and went and got her. I found a psychiatrist close to home that was able to see her the next day. The psychiatrist diagnosed situation depression (surprise, surprise) and started her on an antidepressant and gave her something to help her sleep. She told easy child it was temporary and that she would be fine after they get her over the hump so to speak. I have to admit that it hit me hard to have another one needing a psychiatrist and medications. Oddly, difficult child wants to start going to the same psychiatrist that easy child saw. I am not sure that is a good idea or not. easy child said that she has already told the psychiatrist all about difficult child. [b]MB[/b] ~ Our agreement with difficult child was that if she did the right thing and went back to school and did well and got back on our insurance, that we would pay the copays. She really can't afford the copays for the psychiatrist visits and medications on a pizza delivery salary. I won't go back on that on just my suspicions. I have to say, though, that I keep hearing a siren going off in my head (Danger ~ Will Robinson for all of you baby boomers). I thought about confronting her and telling her that since she told us that she had sold her Adderall that I have concerns that she will try to get medications from two different doctors. I was thinking that I could tell her that we would only pay the copay for the new doctor if she typed up a letter saying that she would not need the services of the free clinic anymore since she was now under the care of Dr. XXX and then having us send it by certified mail. [b]busywend [/b] ~ I'm sure that she already knows the legality of the situation. I made that very, very clear when I heard about the Adderall. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
