[quote=Anonymous]I only have one kid, but my child was like your older one. You need an evaluation - a full one for all the things. This will help you determine which meds are most appropriate to try out first - we tried many, and landed on Prozac and Latuda in combination. They work the best (even according to my now 15yo) for our child - but everyone is different, and a child with a different diagnostic profile would need something different than my child. Then you need family therapy - individual didn't seem to do much for my child until they were older. 12 or 13. Family therapy has been life altering though - in a really really good way. It helps us parent better, it helps us see behaviors in productive ways and call them out productively too. I highly recommend it - particularly with a therapist who has experience with children like yours. Individual therapy would be good too, but at this age not as important as family therapy. [/quote]
