[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 26639, member: 1550"] Hi and welcome. Frankly, I'd get another opinion. CD is normally the result of longstanding untreated psychiatric problems and isn't normally diagnosed until 18. It's a very bad diagnosis without a good prognosis and my guess is another psychiatrist might see other things. On top of that, if he has any mood disorders or perhaps some Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)'s ADHD medication can make him worse. I'm going to send you a few links. I hope you decide to take him to maybe see a neuropsychologist. If he's not better with the treatment he's getting from this doctor, I'd decide to travel a little, but I'd get different help. I'm in a small town myself and had to go a few hours away to get a good diagnosis. for my son. Also, do you know if he has been sexually abused in another place? If not, mania in children often causes inappropriate sexual acting out, and that can get dangerous. CPS can get involved. The kid may need a mood stabilizer. If he has a mood disorder of any kind Adderall is NOT a good choice, even with Seroquel in place. When kids or there parents are adopted, it's kind of hard to get a solid diagnosis. In this case, you don't know much about bio. mom's genetic background and didn't mention bio. father at all, and all that goes into what makes up the kid.
