[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anxiety and ADHD can look a lot alike. Who diagnosed her with anxiety and how long has she been in therapy? Has she considered medication for the anxiety? [/quote] She's been in therapy for a LONG time and we are discussing an SSRI now. [/quote] I'd get the anxiety under control with the SSRI and see if the other issues improve. Inability to focus / taking a long time can be due to perfectionism (anxiety) or ADHD. She has made it through high school with mostly As so it doesn't sound like it's a crisis right now.[/quote] She definitely is a perfectionist and that is something we've been working on. But sometimes it's like she just can't start her homework, not just complete it. And to clarify, she's in high school, but just beginning. [/quote]
