Kindling?
She hasn't been diagnosed yet.
She sees a p doc next week?
I was not hoping she would grow out of her issues. I knew they were serious. I've been getting her help since she was in grade school. I divorced her father before she started kindergarten . I had an IEP done for her in 4th grade and she does not have a LD or a conduct disorder. She has a mood disorder NOS at this point along with two other dx. Her main struggles right now are substance abuse and a nutritional disorder. She is a very high achieving student.
I think I misrepresented her in this post. I am sorry.
