[quote=Anonymous]DD is suffering from severe depression and anxiety, and has ADHD, and school is a major trigger for her and is making her miserable.  She is in 9th grade.  She goes to school in the mornings (although puts up a fight some days) but then asks to come home incessantly throughout the day and it is super stressful for all of us.  Husband and I both work full time, and have to.  Her therapist and psychiatrist, and school counselor at her private, all want to keep her in school using her tools and campus resources (breaks,etc.), given that the research shows school refusal and staying home is a slippery slope. So we push her to go and to stay at school, but we know it is so hard for her to get through the day and she is miserable.  Her school has been wonderful but we are at the point of wondering if a new school environment is in order.  DD thinks she will feel this anywhere but I’m not so sure.  In the meantime she continues to do therapy with a wonderful therapist and we are still seeking a medication combination that will work.  Wondering if any of you have been in a similar situation and switched to Fusion and how that has gone.  I’m worried about the social aspect - DD plays sports at her current school and has some really good friends.[/quote]
