[quote=Anonymous]I'm so sorry this is happening to you. I, too, find it odd that they refuse to evaluate him. Just what do they expect you to do with him? At least if you went to an ER when he was like that you might get some help. I have a close friend with a 6 year old that sounds similar to your DS. She had him evaluated at Children's in Fairfax. They're not sure exactly what's going on with him. He's definitely got ADHD but he also has the mania you describe and agression. They've actually got him on low doses of an anti-psychotic medication to help control his explosiveness. We see Dr. Chuck Conlon in Bethesda and have been very happy with him. In the same office is a neuropsychiatrist that people have spoken highly about. You might also call your local Child Find. They're required by law to evaluate if you request it. Good luck.[/quote]
