[QUOTE="rlsnights, post: 417360, member: 7948"] psychiatric hospital absolutely warranted by the incident you describe. If you haven't already done it you absolutely, I mean right now, don't read any more posts, go through your house and lock up every prescription and OTC medication you have everywhere including your bedroom, bathroom, anywhere. Even if you only lock them in a tacklebox and hide it in your closet that is better than having him have free access to deadly medications. And Tylenol can kill you or kill your liver which is the same thing so don't think the OTC medications are "safe". If you think I am exaggerating I will tell you that my sister was in a coma for 6 days after taking a bottle full of blood pressure medications at age 14. Yes it's inconvenient. But if your child is seriously injured or dies because you failed to do this - you do not want to go there. Then you need to secure all the deadly poisons like household and garage cleaners. Spray cans (anything) should be locked up. I was recently educated about the risks of things like cans of computer air spray and those are now all locked up in our house. That stuff is truly deadly very fast - freezes the lungs. We put it all in our garage and installed double deadbolts and we keep the keys and control access. I would be getting a 2nd opinion from a child psychiatrist so fast your head would spin. Exact same thing with my kiddo was early onset bipolar kindled by antidepressants. And you need a safety plan including instructions to the other kids on what to do if their sib attacks them or tries to give them something odd to eat or drink. I cannot stress enough that this behavior should not be ignored or dismissed as "just behavioral". If you told the current psychiatrist about these incidents and he dismissed them I would be seriously considering reporting him for professional misconduct. And I would never let him treat one of my children again. Sorry but I have been through some things I will not tell you about at the hands of an incompetent psychiatrist and I wish I had had someone to tell me what I just told you when my son (and our family) was being destroyed by a psychiatrist who wouldn't listen to us.
