[quote=Anonymous]This is not normal teenage behavior. At the very least she sounds way too anxious. The perfectionism, the fixation on getting everything perfect -- thats anxiety talking. And she may have an eating disorder as well, she's certainly at risk. if the attention issues are recent, its not ADHD. Mood disorders -- anxiety and depression -- can affect attention as well. And remember whatever you are seeing is just the surface. You don't know if and how much she is suffering internally. Get her to a child psychiatrist for an evaluation. if your asking here, you should be asking a professional. You've certainly listed enough that is worrisome. And if you are loading her up with activities and focusing too much on grades, that is exactly the kind of dynamic that can contribtue to eating disorders.[/quote]
