[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 210698, member: 1550"] With mood/anxiety disorders often you also have stomach disorders. I had gastritis and colitis. Both were nasty. Some were medication related. One medication I took caused gastritis all by itself and it cleared up as soon as I changed medications. Has your son been on all these medications for a long time? We found that Adderrall, even in a small dose, made my son mean and aggressive. If it's relatively new, I'd look at it. From somebody who has taken a lot of medications myself, I know first hand that any change of medication, even dose, can cause a negative reaction as easily as a positive reaction. I do know that, as a child with serious mood issues and anxiety, it all came out in a blast when I turned thirteen. I was never the same after that--the mood disorder had bust out in all it's glory. Course in those days there were no medications--you may also be on the lookout for recreational drug use. That can change everything. Any change in friends? Any really unusual behaviors? Kids with mood disorders are far more likely to abuse drugs than kids who don't have them. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
