[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 451593, member: 11791"] {{ hugs }} No experience with Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE) or pre-natal drug use - and those could easily be factors... BUT - experience with pre-teen/teen boy depression... could also be major factor... Depression can be primary - and cause all sorts of issues. OR, depression can be secondary - too many other unmet needs for too long, plus education issues and/or bullying... and the result can be depression on top of it all. Tough thing with male depression (and especially young male) is that it doesn't necessarily present the way we "expect"... rage, violence, and other extreme behavior can be signs of severe depression. And then... add in... at his age, hormones may be kicking in as well and complicating things. Plus... its almost time for school to start again - and if school is as negative an experience as it is for many difficult children then this looming over his head is enough to send both anxiety and depression soaring. Two more weeks for results?! I can understand "two more weeks" for a full, formal, printed report - but if there are major flags showing up on that report that need intervention, surely they could start without the formal report? (they "can" here in Canada, but that doesn't mean they "will") - we got a "verbal" report that told us which referrals to ask the family doctor for, while we were waiting for the report. psychiatric hospital sequence is always tough (we haven't had to go there ... yet). Hopefully THEY can come up with something to add to the picture too. {{ hugs }} [/QUOTE]
