[quote=Anonymous]She sounds depressed and lethargic? Could that be a side effect of her medication? I think you're right that she's seeking dopamine hits with the carbs/desserts, but it's not her fault. She probably also feels judged, even if you are trying to hide the judgment from her. I would think of ways that both she and you can reset, something you can do together that would provide the dopamine hits, doesn't even have to be a physical activity, just a way for both of you to connect. I would maybe also talk to the prescriber of the meds about possible effects. Though with teens it's always hard to separate the teen stuff from the meds stuff. [/quote]
