[QUOTE="jules670, post: 74852, member: 4068"] 3 years ago we moved to a new home which took my now 15year old away from his friends, school, ect. even though the move seemed small to us it affected him horribly. He became hostile, complained constantly, exploded over small things. During this time we ended up having him hospitalized because he said that he wanted to kill himself. While hospitalized they said that his new moods were a form of seperation anxiety and depression from the move. Now at 15, he is once again the kid that we had before the move. He is playing football and doing great in school. Try therapy with her. Let the therapist know about the move and any other changes. Let them know what they need to know and I would keep any history of depression, bipolar, personality disorder that may run in the family from the therapist. You see, at times, we as parents, give too much information and doctors tend to assume...well if the family has it, why not the child. I have been diagnosis bipolar type 2 and then it was changed to major depression syndrome. I spent 5 years of my life on medications that harmed my body, gained weight, and felt zombie like most of the time. My diagnosis was changed when I met a new therapist and I did not mention family history of anything. When my son was in the hospital we acted as if there were no family links to anything he may have. He was given an antidepressant for a matter of 3 months and weened off by our doctor. He has been fine ever since. [/QUOTE]
