[QUOTE="tryingtocope, post: 26654, member: 3549"] Thank you for your response. I have considered ADHD and BiPolar (BP) also. My sister in law suffers from anxiety disorder and depression. My mother in law and father in law are alcoholics. Two of my brother in law's have substance abuse problems. My husband also has a substance abuse problem although he recently quit. He is a very angry person and I wouldn't be surprised if he has a mood disorder that has not been diagnosed. And one of my sisters is autistic. Given my husbands family history I wouldn't be surprised if he has a mood disorder. I know I should take him. It is very difficult for me because I am home with him all day and he is constantly screaming at me, saying mean things, etc. My husband isn't very supportive and when I complain about his behavior he says that I am stressing him out. Anyway, that is a whole other issue. I had hopes of returning to work and actually have an interview next week. But I am scared to start a new job while he is acting like this. Does anyone know if I get him diagnosed by the psychiatrist, will the school accept the diagnosis? Should I not mention it to the teacher? If I mention it, will the school district have him evaluated? I guess, I'm confused about what to do. But I know that it is unlikely that his behavior will change by September. Michelle [/QUOTE]
