My son(the one who shot the BB gun at us) is out of the hospital. They increased the medications. He still seems slightly on edge, but he is not aggressive at all so that is a good thing.
They did some more psychiatric testing when he was in this time and it confirmed the BiPolar (BP) diagnosis. Gave him a separate Generalized Anxiety Disorder diagnosis. It confirmed ODD. And it also showed alot of Hystrionic Personality Disorder traits. That is a new one, but I read up on it some today and thought it sounded like him.
The doctor also thinks it might be good for him to see a male therapist instead of female. I hadn't really considered this before. Any thoughts on that?
