Possible ADHD, Meeting with Therapist for First Time. What to Ask?

In my DC's case, we have had to make treatment of the depression--with meds and therapy--the priority. To echo what was said earlier, every kid's experience of ADHD (and medication) is different, and what works for some does not work for all.

I'm the PP that said we've been doing it for many months and I'm not sure it's helping, given the age. I'm wondering how old your child is? My child definitely does not have symptoms of depression, so it's somewhat different, but I think even if he did, I can't imagine him engaging in anything like talk therapy. He just sees the therapists office as a place to play with toys that we don't have at home, and I really don't see anything different about his play in the therapists office versus his play at home with his own toys. Sigh --- I really did want it to help!
