[QUOTE="mtnmom62, post: 48700, member: 3793"] Once when he was hospitalized (psychiatric hospital) the doctor did and EEG and told me that there was definitely seizure activity on the EEG but when I took him to a neurologist (after putting him on an anticonvulsive) he redid the EEG and said that there was no seizure activity. So I was really confused about that and didn't pursue it after the Neuro said that there wasn't. But one thing I wondered about is how could he have determined if he was having seizures if he did the EEG while he was on antiseizure medications??? I have always wondered that. I am feeling very depressed and hopeless about the "conduct disorder" comment from his therapist. I know that he has done some really screwed up, over the top stuff. But he has this side to him that is very outgoing and kind. For example, when we lived over at the apartments (before we moved into our mobile home) there were many old ppl and disabled ppl there. They would often pay the kids to take out their garbage. Bill would often go to them to help them take out their garbage or unload their groceries and not take any money for it. I have a sister that is severely developmentally disabled. difficult child is so kind to her, talks to her with genuine compassion and kindness. Usually, when he isn't raging or in a snit, he is very sweet to me and his brother. For the most part I truly enjoy spending time with difficult child. He is fun, fun-loving, out going, friendly. But he is either in one mood or another. There isn't any gray area with him. He is either in a wonderful space or he is cussing, disrespectful and sullen. I feel that if he is CD I might as well throw in the towel. I have heard that most CD kids become criminals and have antisocial personality. I know I don't have the option of giving up (atleast until he is 18) but that is how I feel. Before when he had a diagnosis of bipolar at least there was an outside influence to his negative behavior. If the CD diagnosis is true then it is probably all my fault for going off the deep end when he was 5!!! I feel guilty and feel hopeless. But on the flip side my oldest son was a big time difficult child!!! He did some stuff that was worse than his little brother. He had been hospitalized several times, been in juvy more times than I can remember and was suspended from school many times. He DID have more respect for his teachers and the police than Bill does though, but he did more than his share of messed up stuff. But now he is working as a mental health worker and is going to school studying admin of justice (he wants to be a cop). I just don't know what to do with the feelings that I have right now. [/QUOTE]
