[QUOTE="klmno, post: 210469, member: 3699"] Hi! I just wanted to let you know that I understoand and we go through this, too. The way I look at it is that although all young teens will have their normal mood swings, these do more of a number on our difficult child's, particualrly if depression or mood cycling is one of their issues. I would take the signs of depression seriously since most difficult child's aren't that good at reeling themselves back in from these moods. As far as medications, difficult child's psychiatrist says that as weight is gained, or a growth spurt happens (taller but not necessarily weighing more), hormones change, etc., the medications usually need to be adjusted. My son is on lithium and depakote so he'll get a blood draw when he seems out of kelter. [/QUOTE]
