[QUOTE="Transparent, post: 454691, member: 6498"] If we can get a solid second opinion from someone, you can bet we'll be changing docs. I'm tired of this "tiptoeing" around a diagnosis. We were told in the very beginning that he had mood disorder and then we were told that he was showing signs of bi-polar disorder. The only thing that I can see that the haldol has helped with is the sleep walking. difficult child used to sleepwalk something terrible. He'd get up at 2 and 3 in the morning, fully dress himself and try to head out the door for the bus stop. I caught him doing this on several occasions and had to convince him to go back to bed. He was completely unaware. We ended up having a home security system installed so that if he did open any of the doors or windows in the night, the alarm would go off. Isn't that something? We have a security system to keep people in - not out. I'm not sure how deep his psychiatric thinks out the "psychosis" thing. difficult child has grandiose delusions and in my opinion and also husband's, he's narcissistic. I have no doubts that difficult child is antisocial and it hurts me so much to type/say/admit that. I've told his psychologist that I feared he was antisocial and at the time, she said that she agreed that he did demonstrate certain characteristics of antisocial behaviors but that he was too young to be diagnosis'd as such and she certainly didn't want to label him with that.

Obviously what's being done isn't working. Now it's a new school year and he's in Jr. High - more changes for him, more stresses.
