[QUOTE="klmno, post: 151127, member: 3699"] Jen, you are doing a great job and have picked up on important things pretty quick. I think you are a step ahead so I hope you don't get discouraged. I'm not a professional and can't diagnose, but this does sound like some sort of mood disorder or something else besides adhd. For what it is worth, my son tested borderline adhd twice (2 years apart) and he has no diagnosis for adhd. They think this is because of the hyperness that occurs periodically (because of his mood disorder). There are many things that could be causing it- but you obviously know that you haven't found the right answer yet. I'm glad you are already seeking more professionals to get involved. If you can get complete neuropsychological testing, it will help with school issues. Personally, I think if it is a mood disorder, having a psychiatrist on board with the psychologist who does the testing is most beneficial. But, again, there are other things that could be going on. Do you have a children's hospital or university with a child psychiatric unit? (Not that I'm suggesting inpatient hospitilization) - they can give team evaluations on kids sometimes. It might take months to get an evaluation, but they are sometimes very accurate and helpful. [/QUOTE]
