My 10 yr. old son, Kaiden was diagnosed with ADD and anxiety/depression last week. Starting around the age of 4 we had some anger issues with him, more than just temper tantrums. He would go totally nutso and throw everything all around his room. He would get so angry that he would squeeze his back of his arms with the opposite hands and his face

I'm sorry I am just seeing this Em. I only check LJ once a week, because it is so dead (which makes me so very sad, i miss my ladies). I don't know much about Adderall, but I don't think I would allow the Prozac due to the strong warnings on use on those under 24 as well as higher than average suicide rates on those who take it. Have you tried any type of dietary modifications? Jacob has always been a deep moody child. I never dealt with that with our twins, so this has been a ride for me with him. For years he has been okay because o positive nutrition and me letting him choose his way with his activities and keeping him busy pursuing his dreams, but he is 17 and has fallen into a teenage-blues depression rut himself. Honestly, you would think I would have heaps of experience and advice, but I don't. :( ((HUGS))
