I understand your frustration. As mentioned in my book, one of my daughters experienced similar challenges. If your daughter's diagnosis was accurate, then her anxiety and depression are probably more pronounced than her ADHD and Dyslexia right now. Look on the Amen website for the SPECT imaging. (www.amenclinics.com) There files on depression, anxiety, ADD etc. will give you a better insight to what she is going through. The first thing to do is get to a good neuropsychiatrist or neurologist who specializes in ADD or ADHD and who understand the SPECT imaging. They can give you the proper dosages of medication for this population. I know that this was a life saver for my daughter. Once your daughter's med's are regulated then if she needs help with remediation in the areas of reading or math, then I might be able to direct you to a good certified academic language therapist in your area. Don't feel hopeless. Huge your daughter and let her know that there are plenty of others out there going through the same thing. Tell her to remember that she is loved.
