Welcome


I find it interesting that they diagnosed him with a mild case of ADD, but his major problem seems to be rages with some depression and anxiety, and he is being treated with a bipolar medication (which seems to help him).  Has anyone mentioned bipolar disorder to you? A book that has helped many people here with rages is the explosive child by Ross Greene.  I am also enjoying his other book on collaborative problem solving.  The bipolar child is also a very good book.

They have this website.  You might want to do some reading and see it anything fits.  There is also a link on there to a questionnaire from the juvenile bipolar research foundation.


Sometimes young children are difficult to diagnose and it seems that a first diagnoses is quite often ADD.  Stimulants can make kids much worse if they are bipolar.
