Hopefully your mom does seek help once she is out. I know some people from the older generations don't really find value in treatment for mental health.  |
I have heard of the mini breaks. It's day three ritalin. Can't tell if there is any improvement, but no side effects. Bipolar is definitely a possibility with my girl. Any chance you'l get you hubby to look into it?

Glad you are back, keep us posted. |
Thank you. It's the same hospital that sent me home with a recommendation of marriage counseling 5 years ago. And I did have a psych consult.
I can't even imagine what it's like to see your kids suffer with this. I hope you are doing okay

Thanks. She has agreed to go. I will call her GP this week and see what's next...
My daughter isn't bothered by the dx. She has a cousin and a friend with ADHD. She isn't afraid of meds because she knows I take them and why.
I'm so sorry to read about your trying to decide if Miguel should stay with family for a while. So many pros and cons. I would have no idea what to do.
