[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 612701, member: 1550"] Are you in the US? The type of help you can access for your child and how "problem children" are handled varies country to country. If you live in the US, I would be leery of a CD diagnosis in such a young child, although he is certainly not going in a good direction. However, it doesn't seem to me that the medical professionals involved with him really know the real reason he is so difficult. It also sounds way beyond the realm of ADHD, but other countries diagnose ADHD when it would be something else here...so it is sort of important to know which country you live in. That way somebody in your neck of the woods can guide you in the right direction. My psychiatrist doesn't like to prescribe more than one medication at a time to see if that one works or if there are side effects. If you start two at the same time and there are side effects, it is hard to tell which medication is causing it. I agree with that, but all psychiatrists are different. I hope the medication combo really does a good job. I am sorry for your hurting mommy heart. How is your other twin doing? [/QUOTE]
