[quote=Anonymous]OP, I was put on an antidepressant for ADHD and it gave me thoughts about running my car off bridges, things like that. Is he on any meds right now at all? Is he exercising regularly? Exercise is a great help. I would ask his pediatrician to do a blood test and see how his vitamin D is too. Low vitamin D is linked to depression and it is very simple to take supplements. I would back off the grades and homework and not ask him any of these things after school. I think getting him in to therapy is a great idea. Also, having a sibling with a s/n like HFA is a big deal. He may benefit from ongoing therapy because it is just hard (no one's fault, but how it is). Good luck. You are a good mom. [/quote]
