[QUOTE="crazym&p, post: 410387, member: 11277"] Yes, psychiatric problems on both sides of the family tree. I have been treated for chronic major depression for 14 years. My family has a history of ADHD and Borderline PD (which is my greatest fear at this time). Dad and I are married and he has always been heavily involved - where would I be without him? He had ADHD as a child, though it was probably misdiagnosed - he met criteria for ODD or CD as well. His side of the family has major psychiatric problems, all undiagnosed, because they deny everything. We are pretty much a genetic toxic soup. difficult child 1 is on medications - we have tried everything. Currently on Dexedrine, Celexa, and Tenex. Very little improvement with any medications. The Celexa did decrease the frequency of tantrums. difficult child 2 takes no medications, we are trying to see if we can manage behavior without them, but I think they are definitely in our future. We are trying to wait - she's only 5 :( [/QUOTE]
