[quote=Anonymous]I'd appreciate advice if your child has been on any mood stabilizers. My DD17 has serious depression as well as inattentive ADHD and anxiety. She's had a full neuropsych workup, she sees 2 therapists and a psychiatrist, and she's tried every SSRI and SNRI under the sun to no avail. Her depression has been present for over 2 years. Psych says DD won't be able to attend college next fall if her mental health doesn't improve, and doc suggested mood stabilizers. Everything I've read fills me with fear. The side effects are so pronounced. I'm worried about her physical health, including blood pressure and weight, and it seems severe to treat her with antipsychotic drugs. I'm worried and scared.[/quote]
