Yes DS15 has just been diagnosed with both anxiety disorder and depression. We have not decided yet if we are going to go the medication route. It's on the table but not yet decided, but I am taking DS to have his yearly checkup next week, so I can be ready to go to a psychiatrist if we decide it warrants it. I am on the fence about it. Trying to see how the new year goes. In the meantime we have made some lifestyle changes and DS15 is seeing a psychologist who specializes in gifted kids.
My DS had big problems with anxiety in 6th grade and that we treated with therapy with a psychiatrist as well.
Good Luck. I know how hard a decision this can be and I haven't myself really figured out all the pro's and con's.
