[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 223645, member: 1233"] I am sorry the psychiatrist is so unresponsive. That is one of my pet peeves. When he regresses, is there a trigger that you can identify? Would keeping a journal help? i am just thinking that if you kept a journal of his activities and behaviors you could maybe figure out more of why he is regressing. If all he is on is geodon and the ddavp (for bedwetting? just want to make sure it is what I think it is), do you think another medication might help? Is it possible that the regression is actually dissociation, or splitting into a different personality (not exactly multiple personalities, but along that line). Telling him to stop acting like a baby is simply not going to help. You might try reading some of the early childhood behavior books (my fave is Love and Logic Magic for Early Childhood - I find it very effective) and using those techniques to manage his behaviors. Maybe pick just one thing to work on, such as the whiny voice. Tell him you can't hear him unless he can talk like a "billy goat" meaning in a deeper, non-whiny voice. Then don't respond unless he talks like a billy goat as much as you can. If this is too simplistic, I am sorry. I just wonder if maybe he "needs" something that being treated like a much younger child fulfills in him. [/QUOTE]
