[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 369891, member: 1550"] sounds like more than ADHD to me. I'd take him to a neuropsychologist for an evaluation before letting the pediatrician put him on a stimulant. That's really out of his field. medications can make kids worse depending on what's wrong, and I doubt that ADHD is his main issue. Does this child have any quirks or odd behaviors besides urinating in his room? Does he relate well to others, especially his same age peers? Any speech delays or strangeness (such as copying what he hears or repeating what you say instead of answering)? You have mood disorders in the family. Think it may be that? You see impulsivity (if not extreme impulsivity, in mood disorders and autistic spectrum disorder/Apsergers too. Often the kid's first diagnosis. is ADHD/ODD. I wouldn't put a childhood disorder in the hands of a regular pediatrician. Take care,w whatever you decide to do. [/QUOTE]
