[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 425171, member: 2211"] [COLOR=darkslateblue]This is instantly what I thought after reading through your posts gss. I'm not saying there isn't a mood disorder going on, but tourette syndrome captures all of the behaviors you mention. A neuro-psychiatric would be able to re-evaluate him and give a definitive diagnosis. I would start there.
