[QUOTE="maril, post: 214929, member: 5937"] susiestar: I got a chance to come back on tonight and noticed your post; I don't know how I missed it earlier in the day! Thank you so much for your support. Thanks for the suggestion about the neurologist. Speaking of sleep problems - difficult child snores, his dad has sleep apnea as well as my brother; sometimes I wonder if there could be a sleep-related problem here. MidwestMom: Thank you.

Good that your difficult child 1 was started on the mood stabilizer as the first medication. Who evaluated and diagnosed your son, if I may ask? My son's moodiness has only gotten worse in recent years; I chalked it up partly to hormones as well as related to his low self-esteem and frustration due to struggling so much in school but the more I think about it and the more I consider what I've learned from all these posts, I believe there is something else going on.
