[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need to talk to your psychiatrist and if you haven't already, take him to a psychologist for a differential diagnosis to tease out the anxiety and ADHD. Many, many children have both, and their treatment needs to take both issues into account. [/quote] Honest question: how would the psychologist tease those out? [b]And how would that help us understand if it's med related? [/b] Going off meds all summer not an option because he needs them to attend morning camp :) [/quote] Stimulants are not going to create anxiety where it doesn't already exist to a certain degree. They can exacerbate anxiety though. Children change -- a child that doesn't have anxiety at 6 may well develop it by 8 or 12 or 13. And a child with ADHD is always at a higher risk.[/quote]
