[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 342712, member: 1233"] It is incredibly easy to get an ADD diagnosis. Almost anyone can. I have very few attentional issues. I have been offered the diagnosis several times anyway. By tdocs AND psychiatrists. I have a bro and a child with ADHD and that, apparently, is enough for some docs to think all other family members "must" have it, regardless of any problems that they have. I would be very upset that a doctor of ANY kind gave my kid a diagnosis with-o talking to me first. by the way, here one person's opinion is enough for most docs to diagnosis ADHD, where it used to take parents, teachers, and others to fill out the forms. in my opinion it is lazy dxing. I agree that it is problem anxiety, just given her history. Follow YOUR instincts. I would refuse ADHD medications, esp stims. Strattera might help her anxiety, or so I have been told. [/QUOTE]
