[QUOTE="amy1129, post: 504383, member: 11795"] sorry I didnt update my signature. we did have a neuro psychiatric done last august and she told us he is severly clinically depressed, anxiety disorder and adhd combined type. She discussed that he may need medications but she doesnt prescribe them and the social worker we were seeing didnt either. So back on the hunt we went to find someone to medicate and help us. Found a place, started with a therapist, thought she would be the one to medicate, but no, we had to meet with child psychiartrist, he medicates, so we we meet with one one week and the other the other week. I think I used phychologist in my orig post, I always use that term and dont realize there is a big difference...sorry for that. He is seven and 1/2 years old now, dr told me the same thing too, medications normally dont work as well on younger children. I wonder whatthe anger and reactions to the current I am seeing are either.....wrong medications......wrong dose....body still getting used to medications....treating the wrong thing, meaning is there something else going on? dr thinks is not really depressed cause of his answers in office to a few questions and that he might, i repeat might have been having a bad day when he did the neuro psychiatric. he said he finds kids this age, the adhd clouds them up and they get depressed, once we clear the adhd fog, the less depressed they are. i see that but i dont think we can just dismiss the original test results either.
