[QUOTE="TiredSoul, post: 195294, member: 3930"] jal, Didn't it scare you to death to put him in the psychiatric hospital? I have thought about it but can't imagine. What led you to that? Our difficult child didn't use to be able to hold it together in school - he has had problems at daycare, etc since he was 2. Never kicked out of one, but close. I think a combination of his medications, getting older (maturing a little bit), and the controls in place at school have helped. Seems to be getting worse at home. We really have no support. My mother lives an hour and a half away and works full time. She takes him overnight on an occasional weekend. No other family/friends in the area. husband and I can't even have a conversation, let alone come up with any kind of plan. This area doesn't seem to have a lot of resources available either. I don't have experience with either of the medications your difficult child is taking. I will look them up. I can't even find a psychiatrist in our area to work with on the medications - the only one is his pediatrician. She was reluctant to refer him for a neuroeval. Maybe I need to keep pushing down that path - but again, even if he does have bi-polar, or a mood disorder, or Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD), or Aspergers - what do we do to live with it? Is the only hope really just finding the right medication? [/QUOTE]
