[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 137061, member: 1550"] in my opinion he does need a diagnosis. I won't repeat myself about medication, but your child is a danger to you, himself, and anyone who gets in his way when he loses it. in my opinion it's not his fault nor something he can learn not to do. Dad is in prison, meaning he likely has some psychiatric disorder that can be inherited. I know it's tough--none of us want to think our kids could be mentally ill. But, really, his degree of anger is likely not going to get better whether he expresses his feelings or not. in my opinion only (and I could be wrong) he is acting like it's more than just the circumstances. He is acting as if he is a child with a psychiatric disorder. Therefore, therapy alone won't help hom. I suggest that something be done, whatever you are willing to do, before he hurts somebody outside of the family and he (and you) really get into trouble. From my own experience with mental illness and my son's numerous evaluations I've unfortunately learned a lot about the mental health system and talk therapists alone did not help me. As one with bipolar, nothing stopped my rages--no form of therapy--and I wasn't violent, I just had rages. I am hopeful that you will try something beyond therapy. Therapy is good once a child is stable, but, in my experience, even adults can't act better if they aren't stable AND if they are also mentally ill, which is a physical problem.
