[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When was the last time he had an evaluation? How recent is the diagnosis? This is the age when kids change a lot and doctors can have more insight into what's really going on and may have better ways to help.[/quote] It was a few years ago and he is medicated. An updated evaluation is a good idea.[/quote] Is he only medicated for the ADHD or is he medicated for the anxiety as well? Is he working on the anxiety with a therapist? Stimulants for ADHD help a person focus, but they don’t control what the person focuses on, so anxious thoughts can be intensified by stimulants. It doesn’t sound like he has the right combination of meds. What does his psychiatrist say about his inability to regulate?[/quote]
