[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly save the thousands on a neuropsychiatric profile. That’s for getting an IEP or testing accommodations. Mental health diagnoses are a bunch of symptoms and can change all the time with youth. Plus you’ll need funds for future mental health interventions. A lot of youth special needs is a sunny happy ending of the right treatment leading to normal life. The serious mental illnesses, which this could be, are a long adult struggle. Treatments are primitive and have low efficacy. By all means try and avoid drug abuse—itll exacerbate mental illness. [/quote] I disagree with this. Both my kids have experienced mental illness. Neuropsychological assessment was very useful for teasing out learning disabilities and ADHD and understanding how those issues were impacting depression, anxiety, etc. [/quote]
