[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 230016, member: 3419"] Welcome, JCox. Here's a cup of tea and some soft music. Lovely poem. He is very lucky to have you. You will get to the bottom of this! It definitely sounds like you need to look for another psychiatrist. You can make an appointment to go in by yourself and see if they have toys, and what their philosophy is. Your boy sounds very bright. He is going to be a major handful as he grows older. You are doing the right thing, and need to be even more assertive and aggressive in getting the right doctor on board. I would also suggest a family therapist, so you can role play and practice certain behaviors so you can all work together, figure out what your son's triggers are, get him to work through his triggers, and teach him tools to learn compassion and empathy. He is on a lot of medications. I'm not sure if he needs to be on that many all at once. Don't some of them duplicate one another? I've heard an awful lot of this board about kids and weight gain with-certain medications, so you are in good company. They will join you shortly. I hope you are holding up under all the strain, and that you can take time to see a counselor on your own, to learn coping skills, and take time for walks, reading, and going to lunch with friends. It is so important! [/QUOTE]
