OP you are fortunate to have a therapist in hand who has known your family some time. Trying to find one for my ADHD/anxiety son has been hard. The pandemic has hit many college aged students very hard, none more than the young adults with those special needs, and it’s almost impossible to find a good therapist with room for new patients. Good luck to you and your daughter. This too shall pass.

My daughter is acting like somewhat of a jerk. Nothing compared to the holiday break so there's that. I don't have any answers or advice but there are some of us out here. Hopefully the doctors will help your situation.

Yes, that’s correct, but we’ve all been through a lot with DC over the years and I’m fortunate that we’ve worked with such great professionals. They will at least ask the right questions and make recommendations that will be helpful on how to approach the current situation, and also be responsive to our questions and helping us think through things, even if some of it’s in code. We’ve always respected their assessments and trust their judgment.

Grappling with the mood swings and trying to understand how much is general returning home issues and anxiety or something else. I want to give it a few days to settle down but we’re dealing with manic behavior and I’m concerned. Calling the doctor and former therapist this morning.

Doctor and or therapist may not be able to discuss this with you since your kid is an adult, unless they previously signed paperwork giving you the rights to do so.

That’s what she said.
