[QUOTE="happymomof2, post: 194479, member: 4270"] Thanks everyone for your replies and I will check into local hospitals and find out where I can take him if something happens like this again. As far as him having more then or something other then ADHD that is a possibility. We are going this Thursday to the counselor at our local mental health office and I will talk to them and lay all the cards on the table. He is a wonderful kid with a huge heart. Like all kids there world is great until you tell them no they can't have something or do something. He does get angry when that happens and usually throws something down or hits his punching bag, then he calms down and it's over - maybe a 10 min. episode once every couple of weeks if that. He is 15 but reminds me of a 4 year old when he pitches a fit. I don't know that much about the different mood disorders. From what I have seen and heard people that are manic depressive and/or bipolar have a lot more episodes then my son does. Yesterdays episode was the first like that in many months. When he goes in to see the doctor I do think he needs to be tested further - I just want to be careful and not have him labeled, treated or medicated for a problem he doesn't have. I will also call the school this morning and let his guidance counselor know what's going on. Her and I are very close and she has worked extremely well with him and I. He got up this morning and went to school. In times past when we have had an episode like that after he calms down he is very apologetic and says he knows he should not have behaved that way. I have to go to work today and I don't even want to. It's a new job I started a few weeks ago so I can't really call in yet. I will of course if my kids need me. I am just exhausted from yesterday. Thanks again and I will update after the doctor appointment. [/QUOTE]
