[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 109642, member: 1233"] Who is prescribing your son's medications? Psychologists are not able to prescribe, though many recommend certain medications for people. A child psychiatrist should be treating your child, and possibly a developmental pediatrician. I am not sure what the military provides regarding insurance, etc... but a pediatrician (regular doctor for kids) is probably not able to handle these issues. Violence is NEVER acceptable. If he is "lucid" some days, and nto others, it sounds like he has much more than ADHD and ODD. ODD is rarely a stand-alone diagnosis. And many(most?) of us have had ADHD be the initial diagnosis but found that it is not the correct one, or the only one. A neuropsychologist, neurologist (for the tics), and child psychiatrist or developmental pediatrician are going to be crucial to helping your family. Please read the book recommended, and if your child is having a violent rage, please call 911 or the police for help transporting him to a hospital. He may need hospitalization to help stabilize him. It seems many of our kids do. It is OK to ask the police to help with the violence, even for a 10 yr old, they may not do much, but you never know. Our school resource officer (cop that is at hte school all day) was a wonderful source of help, and even gave us a list of programs that I would never have found any where else. Hugs, Susie [/QUOTE]
