[quote=Anonymous]^^ they are leaning towards a diagnosis of GAD -generalized anxiety disorder (DSM-IV) He doesn't have any depression or lows--never. Never had suicidal, self-harm thoughts. He doesn't have any mood swings. In fact, always been the most stable emotion-wise, mellow. Zero extremes in that regard. He has lots of friends long-term, romantic relationship, finished college in 4 years, highly motivated. He had trouble sleeping as a kid/teen, but no related issues with that. Always had low level worry/anxiety. Never been fired, holds more than one job skipped school, etc. No delusions of grandeur or risky behavior. I would say more "Keyed up/on edge/restless", but not manic. Never violent. It does sound like there is a lot of haziness in diagnosing these things and they tend to want to observe and monitor before smacking a label down which I agree. I do know many kids in that age range that had various issues, that weren't life-long or lasting. [/quote]
