[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP -- Do therapists (for adults?) really help? They can help to some extent, in my experience, but they dont really cure the low-grade depression that comes with parenting a sn kid. I guess only meds can get rid of that. [/quote]

Please recognize that what you are doing here is looking for excuses not to get help.  You may not be conscious of it, but it is the faulty thinking that goes hand and hand with depression.  Been there, done that.  "I'm supposed to be depressed, I have a SN child."  "They can't really help me because they can't change my child's issues."  "I don't have time/money/energy for this."  "All they will do is write a prescription and I don't want to take meds."

Stop that right ow and make the call.  Yes, therapy can help.  Meds can help as well.  Both are the gold standard but don't get ahead of yourself and start thinking about that, just get your ass in a therapist's office.  Your child needs this.  You need this.

Also, you need a good developmental ped for your DC.  But start with yourself.[/quote]
