Kathe, I am so sorry for your loss. I can't imagine what it must be like to lose a child and then have to go on with life as if everything is all right. I have a severe salt wasting son who is 5 years old. He has been on Cortef for most of his life. We have experienced his mood swings, severe anxiety, night mares and lethargy. Almost all of that was during the time that he was found to be under suppressed. How were your daughter's OHP levels in relation to her mood swings and depression? Did her doctor ever suggest that any of this could be related to her meds? I do know that anxiety and depression have been talked about a lot on Dannette's board and is not uncommon for some of the people with CAH. I would love to talk with you about this further. If you would like, you can email me and we can go in to more detailed information. My heart goes out to you and your family. We would love to have a picture of her posted on our chat board if you feel you would want to do that. You need to scan it in to your computer and send it to DannyCarlton@Cheerful.com and he will put it up for you. I hope to hear from you soon, and again, my condolences.
