[QUOTE="klmno, post: 141694, member: 3699"] Waving a kitchen knife around and saying he doesn't care about anything- that is why I took him to a psychiatric hospital 2 years ago. I don;t want to sound numb or like I don't take it serious, but I'm not as shocked as I used to be. Yes, I would get him in psychiatric hospital again if I could- the great wisodm of the courts though- who tried to find him "help" last year, actually made sure that no hospital around here will take him- unless- there is a slight possibility that I could call an ambulance and get them to take him on a "mental" but God only knows where they would take him (it wouldn't end up local ) or when he would come back- stable or not. I can call psychiatrist office on Monday. We have an appointment. a week from Mon. - due to increase in lithobid dosage. I could call their line for a call from the psychiatrist on call- I tried it before- you get a little sympathy but no change because "they can't change medications without knowing history, blood test results, etc". It is hard b/'c difficult child really hits the extremes- he's a typical teen or really "normal" kid from late April-early May until the Christmas holidays. Then he goes 3-4 mos. being ciompletely unpredictable and erratic- off and on. It started 2 years ago- this is the third year. I know everyone here underands- it really hurts as the parent- and I am at a loss. psychiatrist and I have talked about this- (mainly I begged) and we are going to talk about a more pro-active approach. From my side, why weren't we already doing this? I guess I should understand- before it was like a coincidence that it had happened twice. Never mind that it started out with me going to 6 profs. saying "I don't know why, my kid just started acting like a different person" then a few months later, it stopped at fast as it started.
