[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 703713, member: 1550"] My mom gut. He is dealing perhaps with mood disorder which trumps the A D H D. Has he been evaluated lately by a psychiatrist? Taken, say, an antidepressant which could help with his anger? Gone to long term, say, cognitive therapy, which is a therapy that teaches coping skills as well. Hopefully he is not self medicating. Pot won't help this. Alcohol won't. Stimulants are speed...they can make a mood disorder worse, even if the person also has A DHD. I grew up since childhood with mood a disorder and had to do all that I said above in order to find peace and happiness and healing. Inner anger was huge with me. I am also sure I had A D H D too but it was never the main reason I struggled. I tried a time a few times and they plunged me into a deep depression. Nothing beats a good diagnosis, the right medications, and trying hard in therapy. I believe your son can get significantly better with the right treatment. I am happy and at peace. I believe he can also get there. Whoever your son sees for diagnostic and treatment purposes he is not helping your son. It's simple. Move on to somebody else. I like psychiatrists from university teaching hospitals. They have cutting edge information and helped me the most. There is a new cheek swab test that can indicate which medications will best help people. It greatly reduces the "guess" quality. I am so sorry you and your son are in pain and hope this answer helped a bit. Sending my hugs and caring vibes. All of us are here for you. Promise! [/QUOTE]
