[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So far docs have been unanimous that he is not schizophrenic or bipolar--so not sure abilify is the right thing yet.  Too soon to tell yet if last night changes that view.
I think perhaps based on what I'm hearing here is that what he needs is a residential program, rather than crisis hospitalization.  Any suggestions as to how to begin that process?  I do not want to warehouse him--I contine to have hope that he can get through this.  But he will fight it every step of the way.[/quote]

Our kid is on abilify with no bipolor or schizo dx either.  It is purely for anxiety related aggression.  It has been a MIRACLE drug.  And she has been hospitalized several times.

Have you looked into something like St. Vincents north of Baltimore? They do residential diagnostic work.  It's 30 days, I think, to truly get an idea of what's going on.  Then they have residential if needed.
