[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 135803, member: 2423"] Feelinalone, do you feel confident that the diagnosis given to your son is accurate? Have you ruled out all other medical (seizures, for example) and neurological (Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), for example) causes before the doctors settled on the Mood Disorder-not otherwise specified diagnosis? I have two kids who have Mood Disorder-not otherwise specified dxes. They have been in therapy for quite a while. They get help in school. They have two very proactive and supportive parents. We didn't choose to use medications until J was 9 and A was 10. And we didn't make the medication decision easily. But they reached a point where they just weren't functioning, either at home or at school. We never wanted to use medications, but now we're very glad we did. Our kids now have a chance at a somewhat "normal" childhood and adolescence. Unfortunately, if the diagnosis is accurate, you may reach this point as well. I'm not saying you have to do it before trying other interventions available. I am saying that you may have to be open to medications at some point, especially if things really spin out of control. I wish you luck in whatever path you choose. [/QUOTE]
