[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 229444, member: 1169"] Chelsea, There are many things besides bipolar that can cause those symptoms: 1. brain damage (as you have mentioned) 2. fetal alcohol syndrom/effect 3. autism spectrum disorder 4. food allergies 5. trauma Both of my boys were incredibly difficult 5 year olds. Both are so much better now as a 13 year old and an almost 10 year old. Both were on pretty large medication cocktails. The younger one is down to just Depakote and Clonodine. The older one is in the process of being weaned off his medications and I hope by summer to try a medication free month. Without the medications neither one would have gotten this far, primarily because the medication-induced stability gave them a chance to learn and grow. My children were all adopted from foster care at older ages so I understand the wishing to know what really happened before they came home. Good luck, [/QUOTE]
