Suggest Treatment For Symptoms Of Depression
The symptoms could be due to moderate to severe depression
Detailed Answer:
Hello thanks for asking from HCM
I can understand your concern. Though I am not very much knowledgable if "art" is considered but she is really a good artist. If we consider her art as indirect projection of her personality then her art is showing that she is in distress as least unconsciously. Escaping chaos, two moons, missing link etc are showing that she is trying to project her personality by her arts, but I might be wrong in my interpretation too.
Based upon the history you've mentioned she is under stress due to her bad marriage, difficulty in earning etc. Her symptoms are not merely occurring due to ADD but in my opinion she is also having moderate to severe depression. She should not avoid consulting a psychiatrist and if possible take another opinion. Adderall can help in improving the functioning but can't do much in depression symptoms. SSRIs should be used for her depressive symptoms.
For her son, he is not moving out of house, is not very social, has not much friends, restricted at home and in his activities, liking of sameness like sweatpants etc. These symptoms might be due to some pervasive developmental disorder. He should be evaluated in this line. Autism should be ruled out.
So request your daughter and consult a different psychiatrist for opinion. With proper treatment she will come out of depression.
Thanks
