[QUOTE="AllStressedOut, post: 79669, member: 3837"] Sorry AtTheBrink for my goof up top. In the south it is a childrens health program. I guess the acronim stands for something different then what it does up north. Have you had your DS re-evaluated? Maybe its bipolar and not ADHD/depression. Many of the medications given for ADHD and depression can actually make bipolar WAY worse. Kids with bipolar have impulse control problems. They tend to seem ADHD and may not be and depression is also part of the bipolar diagnosis. We just started a new medication, the first EVER given to use for bipolar and it is REALLY helping. I am actually enjoying my youngest difficult child again and so is his teacher. (knock on wood) Is it perfect? NO WAY! But it is better and compared to what we were use to, a HUGE relief. I would check into having him re-evaluated by a neuropsychologist. I also recommend reading "The Bipolar Child." See if you see your son in the descriptions in the book. (((hugs))) [/QUOTE]
