[QUOTE="Whatsername, post: 261118, member: 6967"] Hi everyone, Here's a short version of my story... difficult child is a darling boy who is right now in a psychiatric hospital. It's the hardest thing I've ever had to do. They admitted him because they want to observe him for a few days to try to get a correct diagnosis. He has seen several therapists, a psychiatrist, and a few psychologists. All they ever wanted to say is ADHD, some Asperger's traits. The problem is that this poor soul is so obviously so much more than ADHD. ADHD medications do NOT work for him. He has tried them all in all sorts of doses. Nothing but bad side effects, and no positive results. The last one, Focalin, made him suicidal. My boy had plans of killing himself. He's been medication free for a year. Unfortunately, he is still thinking about suicide. I truly think he is bipolar. I know this is rambling, but I don't have all the pieces put together yet, and I'm terrified! I will update a signature as we go along with the diagnosis process. It's nice to find a place where someone might understand what I'm going through! Me: age 30 p/t office worker Lexapro for depression/anxiety husband: my rock difficult child: age 9, possible ADHD, possible Aspie, possible bipolar, no medications easy child: age 7, very bright little girl, my best friend The Zoo: Bichon Julie, the cats: Jenna, Chase, & Miley [/QUOTE]
