[QUOTE="TiredSoul, post: 384819, member: 3930"] I shouldn't have said medication is not an option - he is taking Concerta now which may be the wrong medication. The psychiatrist may want to try an antidepressant. I would like a more thorough diagnosis to know for sure what all we are dealing with. The problem is none of this is black and white. There is no way to know for sure exactly what is going on - and medications are trial and error. My brain has a hard time working like that. I guess what I want to know is - what is causing him to respond this way to those triggers and what do we do to treat it (medications, therapy, etc.). Is anxiety causing him to react this way to those triggers? If so, medications for anxiety would be an option. Is it Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) like SW suggested - if so, how do you treat that? I just want to know the problem and solve it. Ha! I am finding out it doesn't really work like that.
