[QUOTE="Janna, post: 29369, member: 2737"] difficult child 2 and I saw psychiatrist today. He changed his diagnosis from Adjustment Disorder to Intermittent Explosive Disorder some time in the last 6 months. I guess during his meetings with difficult child 2 when I wasn't present. He feels he would benefit greatly from a mood stabilizer. He offered Depakote or Lithium. difficult child 2 declined. He has the right. 14 is the legal age here to make your own decision on medications. We could have it court ordered, but the Intermittent Explosive Disorder (IED) probably won't kick in until reunification now. Lucky us. He is insistent he doesn't need them. Big sigh. I found the diagnosis interesting, as that is what Dylan was diagnosis'ed with in 2003 (way prior to the Bipolar). On another note, I was reading something in a magazine today. It was a Bipolar questionnaire. Want to know something scary? I scored very, very high [img]:smile:[/img] Another big sigh. I have suggested difficult child 2 consider the medications. He says "Dylan's on Lithium, I'm not Dylan". He can't seem to understand, Lithium is not only for Dylan's. We will talk, but we won't jam it down his throat. psychiatrist made the suggestion, but will not harp on him. Can't blame him. Have a good weekend all. Janna [/QUOTE]
