[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 65400, member: 1550"] Hi. I'm wondering who diagnosed him. Has he ever seen a Child Psychiatrist (with the MD) or a neuropsychologist. Mood disorders and/or substance abuse on the family tree are red flags for childhood mood disorders and one of the major symptoms of, say, childhood bipolar is ODD behavior that is not corrected by therapy or behavioral modification. You have major red flags on the family tree. I have a laundry list of diagnosis. somewhat like yours and, unfortunately, my one biological son does have a lot of my psychiatric issues, although he's doing really well on the right medications (see profile below). You may want to take your child for another evaluation and opinion. Sometimes it takes a long time to get the diagnosis. and medications/treatment right. Zoloft would be probably not really good if he has a mood disorder. Or if it works, he may need something else with it, like a mood stabilizer.
