[QUOTE="Kjs, post: 391947"] psychiatrist wants to see difficult child today. All is true. He has so much frustration and anger. When he gets frustrated then all heck breaks loose. He has the need for control It is scary because I see this with his girlfriend. what he "allows" her to do. I have talked to him about this, but he doesn't see it as a problem. He did try zoloft and it did not help at all. then when he went off of it that was a nightmare. I do believe he is depressed, however when the depersonalization hit, I do not think he was.
