[QUOTE="totoro, post: 116934, member: 3155"] Sorry... I know this is so hard and complicated. These Doctors make it all so much harder, add to it every one else's honest well meant opinion!!! LOL I agree with the others though. It is hard to understand all of this when you have not had you "brain" in the situation yourself... how could you? How could the doctor truly understand... all anyone can do is read, educate themselves and ask questions, and watch your child... OBSERVE!!!! Most psychiatrist's wont take the time for that one... For a few of us, we have disorders as well... which helps us understand our children a tiny bit better... maybe. Not better than other parents, but our own children... Janet is right, depression looks different in young adults, kids etc. Mania looks different in kiddos... K's mania looks different than mine! When she is manic she can not hold it together like I can... barely!!!! Only someone who had seen mania before or a pro would see it in me!!! But boy could you see it in K... same with the depression and anxiety... I have learned to cope!!! I am on OK medications... I have tools... She is young and unstable... I don't know if your difficult child is BiPolar (BP), but he is something!!! and he is most likely unstable and needs tools to help him deal and maybe the right medication combo... I would go online and read about BiPolar (BP) maybe... [url]http://www.jbrf.org[/url] read about it here also... read about any other disorders you might think it is... read the DSM-IV criteria for symptoms.... of anything you can think of. Throw out any questions to us!!! We are here. I would do the Nuero-psychiatric also if you haven't... Great thing to have for many reasons and to bring to any apt!!! And school etc. Hang in there... we are STILL struggling but you keep your sense of humor and you trudge forward and look toward tomorrow!!! Keep the hope alive!!! [/QUOTE]
