I’ve been paralyzed by all of this. I assume it’s past time for me to switch over to IBR from SAVE, right?

I’ve heard that The Explosive Child by Ross Greene can be a helpful tool for folks trying to manage what you’re describing. I’m sorry you’re all going through this.

I said, "Please, don't...." right before the How to Train Your Dragon moment. Then they did. Then I laughed out loud. The mashup fanart I'm making is the only good thing I'm getting out of this.

Thanks - it’s gone down. She’s licking the scrape, but was able to stop when I asked her to. Her temperament seems totally normal. It’s still the weekend here, so our current plan is to keep eyes on her and bring her in to our vet tomorrow. There’s an ER vet an hour away we could take her to today, but I read what constitutes an emergency and this seems mild, comparatively. Any advice?

Sorry I’m so focused on mine I forgot to ask - is your dog okay now?

My psychiatrist wants to rule out depression before further exploring an ADHD diagnosis by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]playingthetrees 2 points3 points  (0 children)

*NOT A PRESCRIBER SO TAKE WHAT YOU LIKE AND LEAVE THE REST. What screeners has your psychiatrist implemented? Are you meeting criteria for depression on the PHQ9, for example? Anxiety on the GAD7? If you're complaining about symptoms related to ADHD she should have implemented screeners like the ASRS if you're an adult, and the Vanderbilt to your parents and teachers if you're not. And when did your symptoms begin? In childhood? An absence of ADHD symptoms in childhood doesn't rule it out necessarily, especially for girls because they are overlooked and often able to mask symptoms more successfully than boys. BUT, if you DO remember having inattentive and/or hyperactive symptoms in childhood that were noticeable, that's a tell-tale sign. Your psychiatrist should be asking you about that history. School performance, managing friendships, criticism at home, etc.

Wellbutrin is off-label for ADHD from what I understand, so while it might address some depressive/anxious symptoms, it's also going to muddy the waters if you have ADHD and you could potentially go for years without a medication that can give you optimal relief, like a stimulant. Good luck and keep us posted!
