[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 273401, member: 3444"] You could try your local children's hospital and make an appointment in their psychiatric department with a neuropsychologist. That would be a very good first step in figuring out what is REALLY going on with him. In all honesty, if he truly just had ADD, the medications would have worked right away. And the fact that he's not exhibiting symptoms in ALL settings also says it's not ADD. If I had to guess, I'd say it's probably some form of mood disorder. But a neuropsychologist evaluation will likely be the best tool to tell you where to start with his treatment. You'll also need to find a good pediatric psychiatrist. The children's hospital should also be able to help you there. If there's no major hospital near you, try checking with your insurance carrier -- most carrier websites have a provider search engine that lets you find a specific speciality near you. [/QUOTE]
