[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 141646, member: 1550"] I'm not a big believer in medications unless completely necessary, but I think you should see a psychiatrist for him both for another fresh evaluation and probably medication (not stimulants either). He is obviously suicidal and sounds like he could have a mood disorder. If any sort of mood disorder or substance abuse is on the family tree, those would be big red flags. ADHD does not cause kids to become suicidal. Supplements and parenting plans are good, but they aren't enough with a child who likely has a serious mood problem. I have one myself so I know. I would not be alive now without my medications. This child KNOWS something is wrong with him. Not all kids do. Please get him additional medical help before he starts self-medicating with illegal drugs. (((Hugs))) [/QUOTE]
