[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 702439, member: 15032"] Seaturtle: Welcome. I think it's great that you have a diagnosis at such a young age. Our son was undiagnosed and turned to marijuana at 15 which then turned into harder drugs. We have been through HELL for over five years trying to help him to turn it around. If I had known he had anxiety at 12 I would have gotten him into therapy IMMEDIATELY. They need to talk to someone. We, as parents, aren't equipped to handle all of these things that sometimes get thrown at us. I used to feel guilty because I didn't have ALL the answers and now I realize how crazy and unhelpful that way of thinking really is. I also think the testing that SWOT recommends is useful. I did not know about this testing. Good luck and keep us posted on how he is doing! He is very lucky to have such a caring parent. [/QUOTE]
