[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 149966, member: 84"] With the family history of mental illness via Mom's side, I'd definately have him re-evaled and make sure it's done properly. Never hurts to check out the physical side of things while you're at it, good physical with fam doctor or pediatrician doctor, checked out by neurologist. Schizophrenia is a big thing in my family tree on my mother's side. Grandfather, aunt, my mother all have it. Nephew is suspected, but refuses treatment so who knows. Bipolar is another big issue in the family tree. I'm not a huge fan of medications. But a blanket statement that if he should start now means he'll be on them for life I don't agree with. I am bipolar. I taken medications when I become unstable, which for me is a rare event. Normally I can maintain stability without medications.(we're talking years) Alot of the medication issues depends on dxes, and also on the person. My son I chose not to medicate. In his case I didn't feel the need although I did have it suggested several times. With daughter Nichole the time came when there was no choice, and frankly medications made the difference for her. Many of us have gone thru our fair share of docs along the way. There is nothing wrong with getting another opinion if you don't agree with or are unsure of the one you've got. As with anything else in life, there are good and not so good psychiatrists. I've had to weed thru a few bad ones to find the good ones. Sounds like your son could be having several things going on, including perhaps a mental disorder in the mix. A good sound evaluation is the place to start. Welcome to the board! I'm glad you found us. Hugs [/QUOTE]
