[QUOTE="robinm1922, post: 229953, member: 6423"] Hello, I don't know if this helps or not, I just took difficult child to for a neuropsychologist consult and was surprised at the outcome. My difficult child was diagnosed in April with Major depression and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) (slight and more obsessive than anything else) it was suggested here and at a support group that I have her seen by a Neuropsychologist. I did on Friday and there is enough to indicate she may have a slight ADD/ADHD issue. I was told that this could have pushed her into a depression and that all of them could be related. He recommended more testing and right now am keeping my fingers crossed that the insurance company and her birth father (we have joint custody so he needs to give permission for testing) come through so we can get going with the tests. He did recommend a non-stimulant ADHD medication which I will talk to her psychiatrist about when we go in a couple of weeks. I would have thought this would have shown before now, what was explained to me was this - her case looks to be mild and more along the language and comprehension (according to test results he had from the school) and as she progresses in grades and school becomes harder and faster moving the more the problem will surface. With the added pressure of school and not being able to keep up like she thinks she should brought on the depression. At least that is what he thinks. Not to mention there was a bunch of stuff with her birth father going on at the same time. Now it is on to the other board to see if anyone has tried a non-stimulant ADHD medication. I looked at the link you put in your post and the dr I went to was not listed on the link. You may have better luck doing a general search. Best of luck! Robin [/QUOTE]
