[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 225371"] I've struggled with depression for most of my life - starting at around 11 or so, with major episodes happening frequently starting around 13. In addition, my son was diagnosis'd with severe depression at the age of 10. He's a neurotypical kid now with some anxiety here and there. I ran into his therapist a couple of years after we stopped seeing him and he asked if Devon had ever been diagnosis'd with bipolar. I never knew he was suspecting it. I never saw bipolar signs and haven't since. All of that anger, aggression and hostility was from depression. It's very common in kids with depression. I read depression in your son from what you have posted. Of course, I'm not a doctor. I've just walked many miles down that particular road. That emptiness you saw in his eyes - it sent shivers down my spine. I saw that in my son, too. It's devastating to see your child in so much pain and to be so helpless against it. I'm kind of drained right now and not feeling up to sharing my story publicly again, but feel free to PM me and I will share with you. I can tell you that with both myself and my son, I totally understand what your difficult child is doing and saying and feeling. It's overwhelming for the patient. [/QUOTE]
