[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 246398, member: 84"] Yeal The abruptness of the change in behavior also sends a red flag up for me. I wouldn't rule out a potential abusive cause for awhile. Boys tend to be more hesitant than girls to admit to such things, even bullying and such. Might come up later down the road as he gets more comfortable with his doctor and therapist. Also it is possible that symptoms might have been mild enough difficult child was able to hide them or contain them, but with age this became harder for him to do. Sometimes the onset of puberty can have a similar effect. Many psychiatrists don't want to "label" kids as it is hard to pinpoint certain dxes before the teen years. Which is why many kids go thru a variety of dxes before getting one that sticks. Many docs feel it's best to leave it open than labeling with a wrong diagnosis. Not having a concrete diagnosis can certainly be frustrating. I'm glad you found us. Welcome to the board. :) [/QUOTE]
