    That’s what they’ve done with my daughter. It’s clearly adhd, but they want to start with antidepressants (Prozac).

    I just wish they’d treat the poor kid so she can start feeling like a normal person. She struggles so much. It doesn’t matter what she does, she’s doing something else immediately. She can’t focus on anything.

    Just like the meme says though, she a good musician and artist. Anything else though and she’s just stuck. I hate it. I should have dealt with it sooner.

      This seems to be the way a lot of doctors are choosing to start…

      I really think starting with treating the adhd and, if desired, a coach or therapist to work on coping techniques.

      My sons and I went through this journey and the antidepressants were all horrible…. Mood-altering horrible. Helped nothing in our case… but also found many on the Interwebs that have had similar experiences.
