[QUOTE="Sgwindsor, post: 34064, member: 1798"] Yes, he has been evaluated by: psychologist age 4, neuropsychiatrist age 5, second opinion with a psychiatrist age 6, and just observed again by a behvioral psychologist(upon request of the school). The only real help I get is from the pediatrician. The only diagnosis we have is ADHD with a possible mood disorder. When we tried ADHD medications last year they made the situation much worse. He was angry, moody, violent, couldn't sleep or eat. That's when we went to Risperodone prescribed through his pediatrian. It was after that that we had the second opinion from a psychiatrist who said he would do the same thing. His behaviors are escalating as his irrational reactions to clothing- socks, underwear, pants, shirts as well as food. We are so confused and feel as though "the system" is letting our son down. My pediatrician today said he feels out of options although is trying another antidepressant as we had tried zoloft which seemed to help some but the obsessive behaviors increased. Attention really isn't an issue, he is impulsive. He did complete biofeedback training in January and he said it helped but it wasn't really a problem to begin with. Thank you for your advice. I appreciate everything. [/QUOTE]
