[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 22767, member: 2423"] Clearly, we're not doctors and can't diagnosis over the internet, but from what you describe, there are enough signs there that suggest there's more going on than ADHD in both your husband and your difficult child (and may not be ADHD at all). ADHD is not the only disorder that includes hyperactivity and fidgetiness as symptoms. Impulsive spending and sexual compulsions definitely make me think of mood disorder. Especially because you're giving your difficult child such high doses of stimulants, you really need to know whether you're dealing with ADHD or another disorder entirely. I would strongly encourage you to seek a neuropsychological evaluation for your difficult child. psychiatrists are not qualified to administer neuropsychologist testing; only neuropsychologists can do that. Many psychiatrists can refer to neuropsychs they know and respect. That's how we got to our neuropsychs over the years. We're here for you if you have any questions. [/QUOTE]
