<span style='font-size: 14pt'> <span style='font-family: Georgia'> <span style="color: #663366"> here's my guess as to why this particular type of testing is being ordered & why psychiatrist requested you do a drug test.
it's not the norm for 17yo's to see ADD medications. however, adderall & ritalin are *hot* drugs at the schools & on the streets. kid are taking them to get high but also taking them during testing time to stay up & cram & to be more focused during tests. i suspect psychiatrist is concerned that your daughter is drug seeking for these purposes. psychiatrist doesn't know your daughter ~~~ does he/she know your son? psychiatrist is looking for dots to connect.
by the way, i in no way mean to imply that your daughter is drug seeking. i'm just suggesting why psychiatrist is going this route.
