After 3 school referrals to CAMHS (1 primary and 2 by secondary school) my 14 year old DD has been diagnosed with ADHD - mild to moderate. Literally diagnosed today, so am a little in shock as a lot of terms were bandied around to describe her difficult behaviour and unusual personality traits.
I have a prescription for medication I can think about, but don't know where to start in terms of getting my head around it, knowing what to think about it etc. Not helped by fact started mirtazapine yesterday to cope with my own anxiety and depression, aggravated to a large extent by my daughter's behaviour. Am now feeling very out of it :(
Can anyone offer a handhold/some advice?
Thanks
Hattie
