[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 195874, member: 1550"] Wow. Hub sounds like, although he may not understand mood disorders, he may have one himself. Has he ever abused substances? IF it were me, I am not sure I"d want to stay with husband. Has he agreed to family counseling and will he work on it? If he has been arrested for "malicious punishment" I don't know that I'd want him around. Sounds like he is cruel to the boys. On the diagnosis front, I *never* trust a diagnosis. because we had so many wrong ones given to both myself and my son, and it took forever to get us both the right diagnosis. and the right treatment. I agree to see if he is on the autism spectrum. Not "getting it" is a symptom and any time there is a bipolar diagnosis, it could really be a Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) that is misdiagnosed or they could co-exist. They are so often mistaken for one another, yet they require very different treatment so it's important to know. If they co-exist, both must be treated. I would see a neuropsychologist for an evaluation. Is this child socially adept? Sometimes our kids just don't seem to understand the world, and that adds to their frustration and they do feel misunderstood. They may not even realize when they are causing problems for themselves because they are so "out of it" as far as understanding how people do things. This an be caused by a problem with "executive functions" which you find with both mood disorders and various forms of autism. With any form of Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD), it tends to be extreme. [/QUOTE]
