[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 184172, member: 2423"] I'm glad your difficult child is handling the psychiatric hospital as well as he is. I agree with the others about stimulants. When my son entered a partial hospitalization program last winter, his psychiatrist told us to d/c his stimulant on the first day and just focus on the mood issues. We've had great success with Seroquel. It has addressed my son's anxiety, depression and mania. What some psychiatrists don't realize, however, is that you might have to go quite high for adequate symptom relief. My son was up to 800 mg in the PHP; this summer we've been able to decrease it to 600 mg. When we go lower than that, his anxiety, depression and oppositional behaviors return. Hang in there.
