[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 282874, member: 84"] I'm afraid I have to agree with the others on this one. Sounds like your son needs to go inpatient for a complete evaluation, so that a proper diagnosis can be made, and proper treatment/medications begun. Hospitalizing a child can seem horrific to many parents, especially the first time around. But mental illness needs treated just as any other disease. And like any other illness, sometimes hospitalization is required in order to put you onto the path of stability or at least proper treatment. You have to think of the family's safety first. Obviously your son is a danger to others, and maybe himself as well. Grounds for admission. I'm sorry the docs you've found aren't helping. There are good and bad, and sometimes you've got to wade thru the bad ones to find the good ones. Don't be afraid to get a 2nd opinon if you don't agree with a doctor. Or a 3rd, 4th........many parents have had to do the same. Welcome to the board. Here you'll find people who understand and care. (((Hugs))) [/QUOTE]
