[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 282661, member: 6546"] Let me see if I can answer a few questions: My daughter has had anger issues and explosive rages all her life. The Celexa is the first medication she has been on that actually helped take the "edge" off of some of the anger....it's still there, but the Celexa has helped the rages be less intense (less smashing, screaming and growling). My daughter was diagnosis with NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD) at age seven....in conjunction with a very dramatic auditory processing disorder. When material was presented to her in written form, she did very well. When material was presented verbally, she did very poorly. An audiology test was conducted, and it turned out that difficult child was missing and mis-understanding a good 25 to 35 percent of anything that was said to her....perhaps more if the speaker was fast, quiet, or had an accent. At the time, I thought that the work-up was very thorough. A child psychologist completed a whole battery of tests over five weeks... but, after finding this board a few months ago, I am not so sure that she was tested for everything she should have been tested for. AND the child psychologist had explained at the time that NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD) meant that my daughter struggled in social situations and could not interpret "non-verbal" communication between peers.
