Very confused. I am in a committed relationship with a gentleman that has custody of two boys (6 &8). I am divorced with custody of my son 4 1/2.
We have recently taken his younger son the 6 year old to a new pychiastrist due to his ADHD that had been diagnosed by another doctor. I have had a gut feeling that his child has bipolar disorder also. He mother is a drug addict and has been diagnosed with bipolar, depression and so on.
The new doctor put him on Risperdal at night 1mg and he is on Focalin XR 10 mg once a day. He is still very unmanagable and quit disruptive to the other children. Mood swing, irritability, defiant.
Its been two weeks since he has been on the Risperdal and we will see the doctor this week. I just want to make this process as painless for the other children.
Any words of advice for discpline? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
