[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 143569, member: 2423"] You need to talk to his psychiatrist ASAP. I don't think "consequences," such as removing his door,will make any difference. He may not be able to control this behavior, either because his medications are making him worse or his anxiety/depression is causing him to hurt himself (and I think many teens cut themselves on their arms, but some cover it over with clothing). Both Adderall and Zoloft (if he's still on it) can cause impulsivity and disinhibition as side effects. It can also make adolescents with mood disorders (if that's what's going on here) much worse. I personally think you need to look at your difficult child's diagnosis and medications very carefully. When was the last time he was evaluated? [/QUOTE]
