[QUOTE="TheBoyHasArrived, post: 581159, member: 14829"] Terry- If you don't mind me asking...when was your son's mood disorder diagnosed? Kiddo doesn't rapid cycle but he definitely does well and then crashes hard. It's not a set 3 weeks, but anywhere from 3-5 wks. We're trying to figure out if it's really cycling or if he has a bad day and then gets stuck in a negative feedback loop, if he had some sort of PTSD issue, if he's having a neuro issue, etc. During his "bad streak," everything goes...huge increase in stims, negative behavior, big decrease in communication, difficulty focusing, difficulty with previously known skills, etc. I only know a couple of people with kids with mood disorders (diagnosed bipolar), and they rapid cycle with very obvious highs and lows. I'm sure I will learn to live with not knowing exactly what the issue is, I just don't want to miss anything that will cause long term issues (e.g., seizures). Thanks, everyone [/QUOTE]
