[quote=Anonymous]You DD sounds exactly like my DS at 15.  What worked:
-neurofeedback- he had insomnia or sleep problems, which didn’t help his irritability.  The neuro completely resolved sleep problems, it helped 50% with the irritability/anxiety. It didn’t do much for the ADHD, but overall it was very helpful. 
- therapy. It didn’t help until we found the right therapist who DS resonated with.
- medication.  We must have tried a dozen different med combos until we found the right mix.
- switching schools.  He now attends a smaller school that is much more low-pressure than his previous school.  We went from an unweighted 3.14 gpa to a 3.89.  I don’t think the work he’s doing now is easier (he’s in more honors classes than before), but he doesn’t get so anxious that he just shuts down and avoids the work like he did before.

He’s a junior now and we’re still not certain how college will go.  Instead of targeting higher ranked schools, we’re looking at schools that have small classes and are known for being supportive vs. competitive.[/quote]
