[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 573229, member: 14557"] difficult child had a psychiatrist appointment again this week. It seems his anxiety trend is getting down and sleep has continued to improve. There was one very bad week amongst it, but other than that especially their 'How much you want to strangle difficult child today?'-index has shown improvement. So I guess I should be relieved that the most imminent threat of difficult child getting himself man-slaughtered has diminished :rolleye: They also think he shows some progress with peer relationships with the team mates closer to his age and take that as a sign of lessen anxiety (things go smoother when he is less irritable.) Physical results have also got better (heart rate etc.) However difficult child himself is still not able to say if there is much change, but also his self kept daily anxiety rates show some decrease. I wonder how much in this is, that he has difficult time telling how he feels and analysing that. Also his coaches and medical staff reported that they feel difficult child has been more introverted than before and his trust issues are getting worse. psychiatrist would had hope more rapid improvement and had again talked about adding SSRI, but that was dropped because difficult child just doesn't want to try. So they continue with this medication, just up BuSpar a little. There doesn't seem to be any side effects so that is good. So sleep patterns and physical signs are definitely getting better but other than that, I'm wondering if he is just internalizing his anxiety more. His mood is bit up but that could be just because his sport performance has started to look little brighter after Xmas. We will see how it all develops. [/QUOTE]
