[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 369631, member: 1169"] Since he is only 10, you will likely go through many diagnosis before the psychiatrists finally figure out what is actually the main one. I would consider any diagnosis a working theory and if the medications and therapy for that diagnosis help your son, great. If they don't help, then keep pushing the psychiatrists for more testing and ideas. My son Eeyore was diagnosis with Conduct Disorder at age 6. My mommy gut completely rejected that diagnosis (although I am grateful for it because it led me here). Many of our kids that are servere enough to lead us to this forum are way more severe than the typical patient seen by most psychiatrists and tdocs. in my humble opinion they tend to either overreact (giving young children diagnosis of Conduct Disorder) or under-react (giving a homicidal, psychotic girl the diagnosis of depression). You are doing the right thing in asking for more testing and a second opinion. [/QUOTE]
