[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 286621, member: 1550"] While I am really on board with detachment, you can't detach from a five year old. He's too young. I think, more than that, read "The Explosive Child" and detach from certain situations and put them into "Basket C." Decide what is worth reacting to and what isn't. I am also a fan of continuing to look for the causes of behaviors, since so many times younger kids are misdiagnosed. I would get a neuropsychologist evaluation now and update his evaluation every year or two as he gets older. The better handle you have on him, the more control of the situation you will have. There is nothing set in stone that indicates he has a mood disorder for certain. This is the doctor's best guess so far and if the treatment isn't working, I'd keep looking. Which is why you can't detach from a five year old. When your kids are older, if they are still problems, then you have no choice but to detach or go crazy. [/QUOTE]
