i would like to say thanks to hanna and deb for their support and kindness 

regarding my son's LD's. ms hanna, i thank you for sharing your daughter's 

story with me at a time when i really needed hope. you gave me hope, and i didn't 

have to have sugar. today we saw a counselor, and found out that my son is 

depressed....if someone asks you to do something that is impossible daily for 7 

years, i guess that anger and frustration can become depression. so now, we are 

needing to add a round of antidepressants to his daily Adderall which he take 

for ADHD. it is my belief that physicians overmedicate , particularly 
psychotropic drugs....i have to ask myself, does he really need all of this chemical 

intervention ? i am in the process of getting the school situation 
fixed...will this be enough? am i doing him an injustice if i withhold 
antidepressants? i 
am a single mom and making all of these decisions by myself is really hard. 

thanks for listening . i would appreciate any input.. thanks noSer's donna
