[QUOTE="robinm1922, post: 264395, member: 6423"] Hello Wornout. My difficult child is 15, I started noticing problems with anger and sleeping a little more than a year ago. I took her to a psychiatrist to get evaluated and they found her to have Major depression, anxiety and some Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) not to mention a little ODD mixed in. One of the many questions they ask about is "cutting" it is a big sign of depression, any type of self mutilation can be. Excessive sleeping (which is what my daughter does) is another sign along with focus issues. I found NAMI very helpful, they offer free support classes/ groups (not sure where you are) along with a load of information. If nothing else you might want to start there, contact your local chapter and ask them to send you information - [URL="http://www.nami.org"]www.nami.org[/URL]. They sent me a lot of great material and at the support meetings you get a lot of great resources and they maybe able to point you to someone that would on a sliding scale. I wish you the best of luck, this is a place where we are all able to put questions out for help, vent or just "check out" for a while. Welcome and good luck.
