Essence,
Best of luck with your son and his medication. I hope that this works for him. I think you said your son is 16?
If so, that is when my depression got really bad, and I had an initial diagnosis of ADD when I first saw a psychiatrist at 30. I've ended up with a diagnosis of Major Depressive Disorder. This is the diagnosis that fits best and I have medication that treats it well.
I'm so glad to read about a Mom who is willing to be there for her son.
Blessings,
Simcha> My son was put on Prozac today and not a stimulant. His psychiatrist feels that his ADD symptoms are exacerbated by anxiety and depression.
