[QUOTE="klmno, post: 340822, member: 3699"] SW, as you know my son has had some of those experiences and is not on medications right now and his situation is pretty much the same as you described about J (from a mental health and therapuetic standpoint- what they are trying now anyway). But it appears to me that expanding the Mood Disorder not otherwise specified and categories classified as Mood Disorders might be the best approach. Right now it's generally seen as either depression, one class of BiPolar (BP), or they aren't sure yet (MS not otherwise specified), but I'm not so sure that there isn't a third scenario in there somewhere- like kids who are somewhere along those lines and easily diagnosis'd that way, respond to MS's to a certain extent but react Occupational Therapist (OT) AD's, explosive because, as you and I KNOW, we never found the real effective treatment whether that was therautic, medications, or methods at sd and well for me at least, home. But with everything in me, I believe my son has a mood disorder. I can't honestly say that I believe he's BiPolar (BP). The one thing I can say is that whether he is or isn't, his medications never stabilized him enough to make it worth it. I think his periods of stability would have been there even without the medications. When he wasn't stable, they never reeled him in and some combinations made things worse. I'm not an expert of course, but there are a WHOLE lot of kids and families that have gone down this same path with similar results. [/QUOTE]
