[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS's anxiety was the direct result of ADHD. He's off the SSRI. He's 20 now and recently told me that [b]therapy was more of a help for him than the SSRI.[/b] Good luck to you and your DC.[/quote] Therapy is more of a help than SSRIs for most people. The reason it takes a back seat to medication is only because it is expensive and time consuming and requires commitment. SSRIs are definitely easier and cheaper (but ugh, the side effects). [/quote] I don’t think you can claim most people just because of your experience. For many kids with anxiety, they are not able to open up in therapy and make effective progress until some of the “edge” is taken off by a low-dose SSRI or other similar drug. I have worked with kids on mindfulness and unfortunately this has been the case for many, although not all. For some children with anxiety just talking about the anxiety, makes it worse for them.
