[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 196551, member: 1550"] I quadruple that you really need a new evaluation for your son. Right now he has a laundry list of diagnosis. that don't really mean anything. I'm thinking that perhaps he has a mood disorder (LOTS of cutting with that) or perhaps something missed. I highly recommend a neuropsychologist evaluation because the professionals do intensive testing on every level, psychiatric and neurological and often find things that even psychiatrists miss. Our psychiatrist missed our son's main issue. I am not convinced he sounds like he has a Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)--my son is on the spectrum--but it's always good to check that out. To me, as a layperson, sounds like he COULD have a mood disorders which has been given 100 other diagnosis. and probably has been treated with ADHD stims, which will not help a mood disorder one bit. I could be off. That's why the neuropsychologist. I'm also confused as to whether or not you are in the US. That's kind of important as the interventions and even diagnoses are different in different countries. I know that certain countries will not diagnose early onset bipolar. If you say which country you are from (or state) somebody closer to you can maybe recommend which sort of help you can get that you maybe haven'[t tried yet. However, anywhere in the US, you can find neuropsychologist. They are hiding in Univeristy and Children's Hospitals. My daughter cut and it is a complicated issue--cutting can become addictive.
