[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a mom of four kids 8 and under and have been medicated with Zoloft for postpartum depression 
 and anxiety for over five years. I don’t have the attention span I used to have, but my psychiatrist dismissed my concerns at my last appointment. Who should I consult with moving forward? Any tips? Thank you, DCUM friends![/quote]

That’s not what ADHD is.  That’s a side effect of having kids.[/quote]

Agree. Your attention span tends to be the same as your youngest child because you intuitively check on the child as aften as that child changes interest -- its to keep the baby from being eaten by wolves.[/quote]

She has 4 kids so this isn't her first rodeo. That she is treated for depression and anxiety and is still not doing well is incredibly significant. Most women with undxed ADHD struggle with depression and anxiety because of the untreated ADHD. For the psych to dismiss her concerns out of hand is disturbing. [/quote]
