[QUOTE="terryboberry, post: 153366, member: 5215"] Please consider getting your son an inpatient evaluation. Just wanted to say, again, that your difficult child sounds so much like my 13 year old difficult child. He said very rude things to us, said "I wish I was dead", then would be loving and remorseful and tell us how much he loved us. What I didn't say before is that he also also played with a lighter, and said he was going to start his own bonfire, the night before we drove him to an ER, one hour away. We knew he was not managing and we could not longer walk on egg shells. My mom is bi-polar and I know the behavior. I was very concerned that my difficult child's diagnosis of ADHD ,Depression and Anxiety was wrong. They present very much the same as bi-polar in children and teens. Bi-polar looks different in children than adults. Your difficult child has similar behavior but only under 24 hour observation can they really see what's going on. For us, after 5 hours at ER we got him on the wait list for an inpatient program. Two days later he was admitted and was there for 14 days. They took him off all the various medications the other psychiatrist had prescribed. Result - no bi-polar, no depression or anxiety either. Getting him off the prozac and abilify, that he didn't need showed amazing improvement. Perhaps this kind of a comprehensive program may be helpful for you and your difficult child as well. The young, impulsive, frustrated difficult child doesn't have control of themselves when they aren't managing. Be safe and consider getting the next level of care. Hang in there. You're doing the right things for your difficult child. [/QUOTE]
