[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 229138, member: 2423"] The kind of violent behavior you're talking about is rarely found in ADHD kids, and ADHD kids have a neurological disorder that is not considered "brain damage." I'm not really sure where you're reading this info. True brain damage can be picked up on an MRI that can be ordered by a pediatrician neurologist. Because my kids have a long history of migraines and mood issues, their neuro had them undergo MRIs. My son, who suffers more severe migraine and mood symptoms than his sister, had a perfectly normal MRI. My older daughter's MRI revealed small lesions in both of her temporal lobes. Her neuro believes these lesions [I]could be [/I](but are not necessarily) responsible for her mood dysregulation. You could request an MRI if you want to see whether your son has brain damage. I agree that just because Seroquel works for your son, it doesn't mean he has BiPolar (BP). Seroquel treats anxiety, depression, mania, anger, aggression, insomnia and mood instability. I also agree that a neuropsychological evaluation would be helpful in figuring out what's going on with your son. [/QUOTE]
