[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 505122, member: 1550"] Agree with TeDo. Take this child to a neuropsychologist. Does not sound like just a mood disorder to me. Sounds like he has some serious Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) traits. Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) alone causes mood dysregulation, although many Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids can learn how to control their moods. Not saying he has it, just saying he should probably get checked out again. Psychologists (regular ones) aren't the best diagnosticians. Never had much luck with them for a correct diagnosis, either for myself or my son. The last thing you want for your child is what WE got for ours...a wrong diagnosis of bipolar and three years of seriously heavy medication and their side effects. He does NOT have bipolar...he is on the spectrum. Now he is eighteen and very able to control his moods. He never needed all those medications in his system...please be careful before committing to agree with anyone's diagnosis, especially if it includes heavy duty adult medication. Keep us posted and hang in there ! [/QUOTE]
