Subject: Re: Med and treatment question
thanks for the web site it was very imformative
 I know he develop depression symptoms from a med side effect when he was
younger
 the stress that caused the post dramatic stress disorder occured last year
while he was in school, and of course this made school difficult,( possibly
a panic trigger) he eventually improved during the summer yet struggled with
anger at times, mostly in social situation with other kids, but nothing that
was lasting until he started school this year so I assumed that school is a
stressor for him
 with some working with him he had improved quite a bit
and I would like to find him CBT trained therapist, not easy to find for his
age
 Right now he isn't displaying any of the symptoms of childhood depression
or anxiety although I believe stress could cause it in him again as long as
the severity and length of depression-anxiety decrease, I think it in his
best interest to learn how to handle the stress better ( I hope I'm not
being cruel)
 prozac can take up to 4 week to start showing any improvement and he
improve in this amount of time without it, I didn't notice is any benzo that
could be subscibe that would have a more immediate effect ?
probably not cost effective enough for studies
