[QUOTE="BeachPeace, post: 453851"] Behavior - is a symptom. You will find lots of advice here that is so wise and from parents who have been there. As other have stated - there is likely a [I]cause[/I] to the behavior. I second what everyone else has said about psychiatric, but also wanted to add my perspective - the child may also need to see a Neurologist. Since custody has been inconsistent and there seems to be developmental delays (speech, potty skills, etc) - there may have been a brain injury (either accidental, birth hypoxia, or "shaken baby" to name a few) there also may have been fetal alcohol or drug exposure. Seizure disorders also will cause behavior problems in small children. Often in our difficult child children they may have a combination of mental health issues combined with neurological disorders such as brain damage from a wide variety of reasons. Neurologists can run medical tests such as EEGs and MRIs to rule out or diagnose any brain/nervuous system dysfunction. My son has a variety of diagnoses and he sees both a psychiatrist and a Neurologist on a regular basis. Both are instrumental to the proper therapy and medical management. Just my opinion Welcome here :) [/QUOTE]
