I just wanted to say I'm sorry! I know EXACTLY how you feel, and no judgement here. We've read all the books, tried all the therapy and even did the parent management training, since it was highly recommended. Your child sounds exactly like ours. There is a study going on at the NIMH on DMDD and ADHD. Turns out our son has DMDD and the study was tremendous and so helpful. We are now done with the study, and things have improved a ton, but we still have more work to do. Now I'm trying to find a psych outside of the NIMH, as the one we saw previous to doing the study has no clue about mood disorders and is always in this judgement place with us. It isn't helpful. I understand why you called the police and understand the tremendous amount of stress you are under! Where are you taking your child now for psychiatry?

Does anyone have personal experience with a child psychiatrist they would recommend for a 10 year old boy with ADHD, anxiety and a mood disorder. I'm looking for someone that really listens, and knows they medications, as well as being very knowledgeable about the science.
Thank you in advance!
