[QUOTE="Andy, post: 220833, member: 5096"] Welcome! 1st suggestion - get a new psychiatrist. This one is not doing everything he should. 2nd suggestion - others will be here soon to explain this one - get a neuropsychologist evaluation. 3rd suggestion - read The Explosive Child 4th suggestion - read The Manipulative Child - this may not fit a lot but I do think you will find some interesting info in it. I don't know that I am reading in this that he is manipulative so this can be low priority for now. 5th suggestion - research the possible side effects of each medication he is on. Some medications can actually cause the behaviors they are given to control. My son was on Clonazepam last year. It contributed to his nasty behavior. 6th suggestion - come back here for lots more help and suggestions from those more experienced than I am. Your son showing remorse is very promising. It shows hope that he does want to be a good person. He hates this as much as you do. I think at 10 years old, he is old enough for you to have a discussion with regarding his ability to overcome this. Let him know that you want to work with him to overcome this. Ask him how he feels before a rage comes about. Can he recognize one coming on? Is he willing to work on letting you know when he feels this anger rising? Is he seeing someone to talk to about this? A neuro psychiatric evaluation will help start the right process and get his medications where they should be. I would hesitate following the advise of a psychiatrist who makes you feel inadequate to that point. If the advise doesn't feel right, find the strength to question it. [/QUOTE]
