[QUOTE="Wiped Out, post: 576102, member: 1631"] We never ended up taking our difficult child to ER but he has been admitted to the psychiatric hospital several times. We would call our psychiatrist and he would tell us he needed to be hospitalized. Towards the end of his recent hospitalizations (not that recent-2009) the psychiatrist would hospitalize if we told him it was too much at home (the violence). The first time he was admitted was when he was 7. The hospitalizations were harder on us then on difficult child when he was younger. As he got older I think it was hard on both of us. Although the hospitalizations were more band-aids they also gave us some respite. Most of his hospitalizations were 2-3 weeks long (except for one). The final hospitalization (so far) really helped because they decided to try a medication that is not often used anymore. For us it has turned out to be a lifesaver! I would definitely take him to ER if he is being dangerous to himself or others and you cannot get him under control. [/QUOTE]
