[quote=Anonymous]I have 2 boys with ADHD/Anxiety and a very strong family history of suicide. My DH also has ADHD/Anxiety/Depression. He also suffered from cystic acne as a teen and was on Accutane. I was, of course, very concerned when my oldest wasn't responding to conventional acne treatment and Accutane was recommended. I checked with his prescribing psychiatrist who was okay with it and recommended his mood be monitored/watched. She also noted, as have many here, that unresolved acne carried its own mental health risks. Neither DS had any issues (nor had DH). They both were on it longer than usual but it's worked really well and I'm so glad it was an option. I also have a DD who did not go on it. Her acne was reasonably controlled with creams, antibiotics and BCP. YMMV.[/quote]
