[quote=Anonymous]OP, you and I have the same child except that mine is now in high school (still with depression and periodic suicidal thoughts).  I would rethink your position on the Zoloft.  It sounds like his condition is worsening - I don't like myself to I'm not going to be around much longer.  I watched the spiral down for my son and it breaks my heart.  Some times when I get home at night I don't know what I'm going to find.  Scares the hell out of me.  I walk a tightrope knowing that I am responsible for the outcome of every single medical decision I make for my son, which is fine if I get it right.

I have not found therapy to be that helpful.  My son isn't a reliable reporter and he's not very open to talking, so individual therapy doesn't work.  Family therapy ends up with me doing all of the talking and telling the therapist how everyone is doing and everyone just nods.  If it weren't for meds, I don't know what we'd do.

Another thing if you haven't thought about it is whether ADHD meds might be needed.

As far as accommodations in MS, I think you're getting about what you'd get with a 504 even though you don't have one.  If there is something more you need from school, it sounds like you might be able to get it informally.  [/quote]
