[quote=Anonymous]We have this issue with our now 9YO DD. She was diagnosed at Children's with ADHD inattentive (not much of a factor at school as she does really well academically), with co-morbid anxiety. Since it's really difficult to tease apart cause and effect in these cases, we decided to work on the anxiety first, with a combination of CBT and a very low dose of anti anxiety medication (mostly because I have anxiety as well, and this worked well for me). Our pediatrician is coordinating care, and we see a therapist weekly, and a psychiatrist for medication management monthly. We have started treatment about 2 months ago, and there is some improvement, but we're nowhere near "done", there are still a lot of anger and anxiety issues to deal with, but we are hopeful. Good luck, OP![/quote]
