[QUOTE="almondjoy, post: 83797, member: 4165"] Thank you all for your replies! I feel I need to clarify something though, I DO believe there is something wrong! I believe he is feeling depression as well! But I'm just not so sure it is BiPolar (BP). I have wondered about ODD accompanied with-depression. Sorry if I made it sound like he is just a spoiled brat seeking attention! That was farrrrr from what I meant! (that was said a couple of times when I was a teen dealing with-unmedicated bipolar...no way do I think that, it's a horrible thing when ignorant people assume things like that) I'll go along with whatever the psychiatrist thinks, as long as he LISTENS to us. I don't have a problem with trying him on BiPolar (BP) medications, as long as the doctor listens if the medications aren't working (like before). The psychiatrist today isn't specifically one for kids, but the appointment he has for November is. From what I've heard, that psychiatrist is a great one. I really don't know anything about the one we are seeing today, but at least it's a start. About the drugs, we already do the random tests now. He's clean for now...he swore that the time he did it in his room was the 1st time. I believe him because he told my niece (he told her everything, which is how I found out). Again, I'm sooo sorry for the way my post sounded. I didn't even consider that! I was just trying to get everything out. I know there is a problem and I know he doesn't want to feel this way [img]:frown:[/img] I'm going to do everything in my power to make sure he gets better. As far the rest of my family, they can keep their opinions to themselves now LOL I have only been stable myself for the last few years...it has taken some time for me to trust my own judgement. But now I do, and things are going to get better around here! [img]:smile:[/img] I have read The Bipolar Child, but not the other one. I'll see if I can find it today at the book store. Thanks!
