[QUOTE="Steely, post: 229716, member: 3301"] I am slightly confused about all of the details (sorry, I am not so great lately with information flow:sick:) However - I wanted to offer a couple of things. A) If your difficult child has any type of mood disorder the Celexa [I]could[/I] be making it worse. Has she been more agitated or aggressive since starting it? B) I agree with the others that she needs a thorough neuropsychologist exam, and that there is possibly more going on with the chemicals in her brain than just depression or ADD. C) There is a huge difference between the type of child Bran posted about who physically injures animals and people for the thrill - VS kids who get a thrill or rise out of people's responses to their aberrant actions. My difficult child was one of those who literally enjoyed to see my dismay or anger when he did or said something outrageous to me - mostly abusive stuff. I could see him grinning when I got so upset I could barely speak. However, he did not seek pleasure from the pain it caused, but rather my reaction. For years I worried it was the other way around, but it was all attention driven. You will have to analyze and differentiate this for yourself with your difficult child - but to me the example of the horses was perfect. She did not literally want to see them be harmed - but she wanted the power she gained from making them run. The Explosive Child is a good starting point, as well as a through exam so she could possibly be on the correct medications - and in therapy. Hugs, you are not alone. [/QUOTE]
