[quote=Anonymous]OP here -- many thanks to all of you for the helpful posts! Your experiences helped me think through options and organize approaches in my mind. DS saw his therapist yesterday and began using a new workbook as part of his CBT. The therapist explained to him that he would need to work with her through the book, which will include homework, and we have set up a points system so he has a series of rewards when he completes the homework. He seems very excited about this approach. We are going to give this workbook a try (it is about 16 weeks long) and if at the end we do not see an improvement, we'll make the move to SSRIs. To the PP that said the psychiatrist waited a year on the SSRI recommendation -- actually, the very first meeting we had with the doctor, he wanted to start DS on Zoloft that day. It was due to our insistence that he opted only for a med for the ADHD. So I am not exactly "sold" on this psychiatrist.[/quote]
