[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 433245, member: 1550"] Be careful of thinking that moodwings has to be bipolar. There are a lot of reasons for moodswings, including less severe mood disorders and Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids are constantly reacting to their environment and can be happy one moment, then turn on a dime. They have compromised levels of frustration, especially when young, and may be fine one moment then encounter something they don't like and fall apart in an instant. I issue this warning because my poor son was put on heavy duty bipolar medication for three years and he clearly does not have bipolar. I questioned it the entire time, but the psychiatrist insisted that he had bipolar and not Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). He had a series of horrible reactions to these medications until I finally took him to a neuropsychologist where he was finally given the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) diagnosis. that hub and I had suspected all along. And we were right. He was weaned off the medications and never put on them again and he has been fine. The medications he is taking could actually be making him worse. Do you feel they are helping him? I can't tell you what to do or what to explore, but I did want to share my experience. Good luck and keep us posted :) [/QUOTE]
