[quote=Anonymous]So hard to write this and I did do a quick search on older threads but overwhelmed.....so if anyone can share a quick idea this morning.  My DS whom I love beyond measure is clearly in need of help. We've tried a bit of therapy in past so not new to us but I think this is more.  He is a young teen so that the anger outburts and drama are no longer just chalked up to what has always been our excuse of " he's brgiht, he's just difficult, he's shy,  etc. Also  Absolutely loving and kind when he wants to be but now almost evrything is an over reaction to the smallest request, discussion, decions.

I see that Kellar Inova has a program for depression, anger - can diagnose.  Has anyone been there or other suggestions? We have a therapist we can go back to but I am not sure if she is best as I think this is more than helping him with her gentle talk therapy on anxiety, not trying to be a perfectionist.  I think this is biochemical or sometype of abnormal behavior identifiable in the DSM handbook. May even need to try meds?

So overwhelmed as I know it will be a process to find the right person.  I am willing to do that but time is of the essence as he is starting to miss school.  That is the other issue so I feel like we are just putting band- aids on crisis and he needs major support. If anyone can share resources this morning, I would truly appreciate.

Sorry for poorly written post but I have been up most of night waiting to call doctors.  Thank you.[/quote]
