New to this sight but far from new to the frustration,pain,heartache,anger,confusion of a child with a mental disorder. My son was dignosed at 6 with ADHD and medicated. I thought oh thank God my son is back he could sit still, learn and be productive in his class. 8yrs later he has been thru probably 20meds, 10 different dignosis and many phycological test and i still have know idea how to help my son. Currently he is not on any medications, dr took him off concerta last month because as he has hit puberty we are dealing with other issues that do not seem to be ADHD. The most recent is ADHD, explosive temper disorder,depression and mood disorder.
Just like most of our evenings do today started out good. He's happy energetic (very) talktive, then i asked him to clean his room after the explostion from the last episode on friday. He avoided and avoided until pushed into a corner to do it then explodes! broken glass, broken closet and dent in my car from his fist! I called the police three hrs ago and still no show!!! But of course the episode is over he's laughing smiling like nothing ever happened. Talking to him tonight after he admitted that he doesn't remember a lot of it. He says he kind of blacks out. He has therapy once a week and i feel like we have tried everything.......What next do we just wait for the next explosion???? Help!!!
