[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 675268, member: 11791"] Conduct disorder. Sure. Stick a label on that has no effective therapies and no effective medications. At this age, it's a really tough thing to address. A couple of years ago - you might have been able to get to the bottom of what is really going on. And I suspect there is more going on. But right now... at 17, he's not really going to hand you compliance or anything else that would make a new evaluation effective. I'd just like to knock the blocks of some so-called professionals who don't have what it takes to push through and get real answers. We've had a few of those... we didn't get real answers until our kid became an adult and we left the "child and youth" medical system. At 17... with two years of conduct problems behind him, and lots of dark-side connections. The question is, how do you protect yourself, while still leaving a crack of a door open in case he ever does want out of that life and really wants to change? [/QUOTE]
