[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 194481, member: 1550"] The thing is, he's NOT like all kids. Very few pitch fits at 14 if they can't do what they want. Tantrums aren't normal for a teen his age. I've raised five kids to at least age 12 (my youngest is 12). Only of them raged at that age and that was because she took illegal drugs and was high half the time. That's why I say your son is over-the-top for ADHD. I think he has some serious issues and ADHD medications may make him even more prone to raging. in my opinion you should have him completely evaluated. A therapist or counselor won't diagnose well--they don't run the right tests and they don't really have the credentials. I wouldn't want my teen on ADHD medications unless I was certain that he ONLY had ADHD. The fact that he has remorse can also mean he has a mood disroder that he can't control. Since mood disorders get worse without the proper treatment, I would look at it intensely. JMO [/QUOTE]
