[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 185204, member: 1550"] I agree with gvcmom. I would think that more is going on than ADHD and I'd want him completely evaluted. Believe it or not Psychiatrists really aren't very good at testing and often miss the real diagnosis. Worse, they often think a change of medications solves things, and if they don't have the right diagnosis. the medications can actually make things worse. I would go for a neuropsychologist evaluation. It is far more intensive than anything your Psychiatrist will do. And I speak from thirty years seeing Psychiatrists and my daughter and son seeing them. They just don't test intensively enough to catch other problems and often decide it has to be a psychiatric problem even if it is a neurological one. And it's always medications, medications, medications. ADHD is not the only disorder that causes extreme hypernness. We have very few parents here with kids who just have ADHD because usually whatever brings us here is more serious than that. I would go with the neuropsychologist instead of a Psychiatrist. Or I'd have them work together. [/QUOTE]
