[QUOTE="gss329, post: 424423, member: 11855"] thanks for the feedback my son was diagnosed with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), odd, depression, tics, and unspecified mood disorder about 2 years ago. he saw a psychiatrist and psychologist for about 1.5 year, now he refuses to see the psychologsit ( i have no way of physically making him go - he would jump out of the car), but he does go to the psyc appts still. Problem his, he won't talk, so most, if not all, of the info the doctor gets is from me. I have to schedule separate appts. I wonder about the bipolar, but the doctor won't really go that far. But there is something that turns him into a different person during these 'spells'. i started the abilify one year ago April after he got really bad. now, its down to about once a month, but more physial each time. If its bipolar, is there a differnet medication? He is stronger than me now and getting taller quickly. I don't have anyone to call for help, which is why i was wondering about 911. Problem - he would be SO angry if I did that, I would be very fearful once he was given back over to me. I like the no siren idea, so thanks for that. Do they ask me what I choose when they come or do they automatically take him to the hospital? How long do they keep him? He would not talk to them. He has cut himself before too. He has several scars on his wrists which embarras him. Now that summer's coming, he's getting anxious over that too. His dad did not have a diagnosis of bipolar, but depression. He did start seeing a psyc, but would not take his medications, including prozac and an anti-psychotic as per directions. Alcholism runs in that family with the grandfather passing in early 30s from complications from that. So, i think there's alot of things going on. I feel like its just hopeless. No drugs for my kid and no, he's never been a typical kid. He has been exceptionally difficult since infancy with things just getting worse in 2007 - thats when I st started seeking out professional help. I don't know what I'm asking, but hearing from others is HUGE bc I feel so alone. by the way, my son's main interest is guns and says he plans to get one as soon as he is 18. Not in my house for sure. What is that medicein you mention and might it keep him more level? I think there is something not diagnosed right. He just looks so different when he has these spells.
