Hi
My 11 yo is showing symptoms of mild depression. Our neurologist said
it maybe "real" depression, or it may be because she is ADD (already
diagnosed) and is not doing well in class. She is not on meds, just
has extra tutoring to keep her on track...but it doesnt help as much
as we would like.
Therefore we have to find a psychologist to help out where the
depression is coming from, so that we can decide if maybe putting her
on Ritalin would help aleviate the depression as she performed better
in class(we would do that as it helped her once in the past) or NOT
give it to her (because ritalin can make depression worse)
I dont mind going thru the kupah, but worried that it might take a
year till she is seen...so any suggestions that wont cost 1000's?
thanks everyone.
