[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 220974, member: 1550"] Ack. Well, even if you did a neuropsychologist I would do it again. We had better luck with a neuropsychologist than with Psychiatrists. NeuroPsychs tend to know about both psychiatric and neurological disorders (such as Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), learning disorders, ADHD etc) while Psychiatrists know about brain disorders such as bipolar, schizophrenia, depression. They don't test either the way NeuroPsychs do. Substance abuse is common with mood disorders, but rather than telling you what he has or how to handle him, I do think he needs an updated evaluation. It is impossible to know how to handle him if you aren't sure what you are dealing with. I have bipolar and well remember rages. They did come on too fast to stop them, even if I'd told myself in advance that I'd never rage again. If he has bipolar, he would need medication. You'd be referred to a psychiatrist (again). in my opinion it sounds like more than ADHD to me. Stims can make mood disorders or Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) worse. I can't handle stimulants. They wreak havoc with my moods. But that's just me. You really do need to check with an expert as we are just very tired moms...lol. Take care, whatever you decide :) [/QUOTE]
