[QUOTE="mrscatinthehat, post: 117130, member: 2063"] Ok, I believe that I have a slightly differing opinion. With my gfg2s neuropsychologist evaluation one of his diagnosis' was Impulse Control Disorder. I have not changed my signature to reflect this as I have not recieved all of the written reports. The things that were discussed with this for us were that suicide attempts with this are very common. The problem is we won't see the warning signs like you potentially can with depression. It can just happen. With my son it means swallowing hazardous things. He does many other things also. But that is one of the ways he tries to hurt himself. He also tries to hurt others and has. I inquired about other reasons for this. This is a vague diagnosis to some but it does explain some things. Truthfully you know your son. You should trust your gut on the medications. Personally I wouldn't say an antidepressant would help. I would think some sort mood stabalizer or the atypical antipsychotics would be the direction. But that is just me. If you are not happy with things by all means get a change. I would start with a knew psychiatrist you trust. Beth [/QUOTE]
