New Check him for ADHD symptoms.
Seriously, one of the side effects of ADHD is depression - which doesn't respond well to "anti-depressants". Having experience treatment for ADHD, I can say it made a significant change in my behavior for the better before my insurance company put the kibosh on it for stupid reasons - currently in appeals to turn it around.
When somebody asks you to trade your freedom for security, it isn't your security they're talking about.

New Stupid insurance companies
Since we really cant cure ADD/ADHD, we treat the symptoms. If depression is one of your symptoms, and that's what's your provider is treating, have your provider bill with that diagnosis code so you can get you claims paid.

New Already been down that path.
I've taken quite a few antidepressants. Not one of them made a significant difference.

Dr. proscribed an ADHD medication, and ramped up treatment with samples. Almost immediate noticeable difference.

Insurance company said "but you have to take this first and prove it doesn't work before we'll proscribe you the one that was working."

I can't tell ou the rest, but they're going to authorize it. :VBEG:

New Can we talk privately about this?
I am going through this with my son now (in addition to other neuro issues) and it would be helpful if we could chat.
Thanks.

This is actually a variation of the phrase, "HEY MOE."
