[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 318369, member: 1550"] Is he on any medication, such as a stimulant or an antidepressant? Both of those can cause a child to reel out of control. Was he the one on Straterra? If so, and he has never done this before, I'd think it was the Straterra. That is nasty stuff in so many kids. I'm not anti-medication. I've taken medications since I was 23 and I'm 56, but I also know that some medications that are supposed to perform a certain function just made me plain ole worse. Cutting is related to abuse and borderline personality disorder and can also be caused by drug use. My daughter used to cut so I learned quite a lot about it. Of course, there are other reasons for cutting. I'd go to a psychiatrist, not a therapist. This is beyond a therapist in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
