[QUOTE="keista, post: 448638, member: 11965"] I'm so sorry you and your baby have to deal with this. I'm also very sorry for that quack that suggested nothing more than ODD when she was admitted for hurting herself. (I had a similar quack tell me the same thing when I was quite certain that DD1's escalating behavior was due to a bad reaction to her medications - which it was) I haven't personally read the book by Green, but do know that it is VERY highly regarded and does have some useful information in it. Unfortunately my gut is telling me that for your situation it was very little help. Did you ever see a neurologist about the 'blanks'? Does she still have them? You might want to investigate those. I can only imagine that her own fear and confusion could lead to the behavior you describe. DD1 doesn't talk either. At least not about any negative emotions. I've had 2 psychiatrists HIGHLY concerned that she's on the autism spectrum because she has always been so non-communicative in their offices. (her brother is on the spectrum so that sends the red flag) She's not, she just won't open up. She spent her first six sessions with her first therapist in silence or growling because she REFUSED to participate. Have you researched any mood disorders to see if they fit? Depression, anxiety, bipolar? Unfortunately you might not be able to 'specifically' get an answer to what you're dealing with. Kids present so differently than adults on many levels, and also since they are developing, they, and their symptoms, are also developing. Hopefully you will get at least some answers and beneficial treatments. I'd say that addressing the suicidal tendencies and self harm are priority #1. [/QUOTE]
