[QUOTE="klmno, post: 256019, member: 3699"] I'm a firm believer that there is a connection with mood disorders- but it might not be the allergies- I think it might be the medications used. My son had asthmatic wheezing until age 4 1/2. He was on albuterol and steroids for treatment. The only time before age 10 1/2 that he "acted" strange was right after albuterol treatments and during allergy season after being given allergy medications. His unstabilized periods the past few years seem to be extreme during the same seasons as the asthma/allergies- primarily late winter/early spring and secondarily the fall. At first, doctors rolled their eyes when I brought up any connection. Now, they tend to listen a little more and I have had one or two actually agree that there appears to be an effect of some steroids and antihistamines. I personally think difficult child had a genetic predisposition for a mood disorder and I think these medications were a big, but not the only, trigger. Just like studies show that a lot of young kids with asthmatic wheezing also have excema(sp), but they don't know why and have not found the actual physical connection. (At least I read that a few different places many years ago when difficult child was little and took mental note of it because he had that problem, too.) [/QUOTE]
