[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 170170, member: 1550"] Hi there. Long time Warrior Mom here. First of all, although you say you aren't looking for a diagnosis., in my opinion you need one. This isn't typical behavior (as you know) and there are many kids who can hold it together in school but it takes so much work to do so that it all comes out in one blast at home. This is common in kids with mood disorders--you suffer depression and are on Lamictal--a mood disorder may be going on here. Maybe something else. These things tend to be genetic. Any other psychiatric, neurological or substance abuse issues on either side of the family tree? These are all clues. I suggest you take this child for a neuropsychologist evaluation. I found them much more helpful than just going to a regular psychologist or therapist or even psychiatrist. The earlier you find the reason for the behavior (the disorder causing it) the better the prognosis for the longterm. Since he was a preemie who had problems at birth, certainly that could have caused something to misfire too. Other possible problems--Asperger's Syndrome, early onset bipolar, lots more. Good luck and schedule a neuropsychologist evaluation (it usually takes a few months to get in because they're good!) [/QUOTE]
