Hi all.....
My son is almost 13 yrs old.
He has previously been diagnosed with slight Aspergers.
We moved to new province, new psychiatrist feels its more ADHD, the spychologist is sure its Aspergers! Both think its not ODD and also not personality dysorder
He started throwing terrible aggressive tantrums, it last for hours...screeming, hitting stuff, swearing exct.
The one moment he will be fine and calm and then out of the blue become exstreamly aggitated, just to burst into tears later and become terribly depressed....but the thing is....its ussually if he cant get his way (almost always because of games he isnt allowed to play or techno...)
There isnt ANY pattern that we could pick up...but it ussually starts with becoming aggitated and then escalates.....this only happens at home
Now we're thinking of possible bipolar, starting Abilify tomorrow..he is using Zolift and Conserta at the moment.
My question is...did any of you had this experience before.....? Whats your thoughts on Abilify, any good?
Can bipolar be triggerd by events...?
Thanx
