[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 229194, member: 805"] Welcome diasbox. I'm glad you came out of lurker status and joined us. Couple observations and questions for you. I see that you have depression and so does your daughter. How about the father? Any emotional/mental history there? You know that genetics plays a huge piece. One of the first things that pops to mind in a situation where the parent and sib have depression and another child is having anger issues, is another case of depression. It's the way depression is most often manifested in kids. You have been going to family therapy for your daughter - has your son been soley evaluated? Has he been to a neuropdoc or had a complete evaluation? That is going to be the only way to find some answers - if the current family therapist (I am assuming the doctor is a therapist and not a psychiatrist) can't see or help - find another doctor. One suggestion would be a journal of your son's behavior. If the outbursts are really violent, videorecord them or tape them for a doctor's review. Keep a written history of the triggers, the level of anger, etc. That can be a great help to start off an evaluation. How does your son do at school? Does he have friends? Is he respectful to his teachers? What about his relationship with his father? There appears, at least on the surface, to be a lot of things at play in this situation. Not the least of which is the puberty years in boys! Glad you are here with us! Sharon [/QUOTE]
