[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 319863, member: 1550"] Sounds like he has a lot of tics. Has he ever been evaluated for Tourette's Syndrome? That's not really so rare. A neurologist would be able to diagnose that. Tourtettes Syndrome causes a lot of co-morbid psychiatric problems...Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) the most well-known. Bipolar is common with it too. I would maybe worry a bit about medications if he has tics. Some medications can make tics worse. If it were me, the first place I'd go is to a pediatric neurologist. I'd worry about the medications later, although I don't judge anyone for medications. My son tried them at age three. But in retrospect, if I could do it all over again (ain't hindsight great?) I'm sure I would have waited, because he my son was misdiagnosed a lot when he was young and he got some pretty bad side effects from medication he didn't need. Good luck, whatever you decide to do. :raspberry-tounge: [/QUOTE]
