[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 619760, member: 1550"] What are all of his medications? Many medications exhaust you. My own opinion is that nothing will help this child and with the way bio. mom and his dad try to downplay his behavior, the psychiatrist isn't going to get a true look at the kid. I'm surprised doctor doesn't insist on seeing the kid alone. When my son went to a psychiatrist (wrong bipolar diagnosis...trust me, it happens), my son saw him without me in the room and he was only eight to ten. You may want to try a second opinion. Medicaid will pay for residential if this child gets into any serious trouble...such as sexually acting out or hurting an outsider. He is still young, but wait until he is fourteen. The poop thing sounds like autism, really. Probably lots wrong with this kid and I still think he probably has a bit of Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) with other things...he's a mess. In the end, I believe he will end up in residential. His behaviors are too dangerous for him to maintain safe behavior with his peers. And if he is court ordered, he will go...on their dime, if necessary.Unfortunately, the usual pattern for violent, out-of-control kids is that time is not their friend and they get worse. There is a difference between mildly ODD behavior, which can get better, and truly astonishingly bizarre behavior. There is so much wrong with this child and, on top of it, he's not likeable either. If he never expresses remorse, that is more Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) than bipolar. Bipolars tend to feel really badly when they rage. I have a mood disorder myself and no conscience is NOT a part of bipolar. THAT is your biggest danger with this child. Must be hard to watch it. It is possible that your husband has rose-colored glasses about the time when he and biomom were together. Maybe when they fought the baby cried and cried and got no attention when he needed it...in a contentious situation like that it is hard to know if the baby was loved on the right way or enough. So to me, again, JMO stepson is a big Pandora's Box, but nobody knows what is really in it, even the doctors. Their treatment is certainly NOT helping him and if he has allegedly bipolar why isn't he on a mood stabilizer? Why is he on a stimulant? That is bad for bipolar. I hope the Youth Program has an impact on him. I mean, everything I type is my own opinion so hopefully I'm wrong. [/QUOTE]
