[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 107550, member: 2423"] What you're talking about may be a symptom of mania (as in bipolar mania). From an article written by my son's psychiatrist: "Grandiose children see themslves as being of a higher order -- being an 'adult.' This puts perspective on their defiance and lack of willingness to follow directions such as when parents ask the question, 'Who do you think you are?'" I'm guessing the fact that your difficult child is not on a mood stabilizer and is on antidepressants is contributing to the mania. Counseling isn't going to solve the problem; proper medical treatment will. I hope you will find a board-certified child/adolescent psychiatrist who will help you get your son the help he needs. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
