[quote=Anonymous]OP -- I feel you. Oh, the agony of this situation!

Briefly, we have three kids. The oldest is a 12.5 boy. Brilliant, charming, athletic, creative, and at home can bring all of those talents and skills with brut and dark tactics.

He was diagnosed as combined typed ADHD with dysthymic depression (low grade but persistent depression) and some mild anxiety.

How his world changed when we got him medicated. How our lives as a family changed, too! Wow!

Now, the bigger problem is ensuring that we keep up with his medication as he grows, that we still discipline him, etc.

I will also add that the medication isn't a 100% cure all. The body and brain are amazing chemical factories and there can be swings sometimes, but not often. Atleast now we are better prepared to handle those rare moments, assess whether more meds are needed, counseling, or perhaps nothing at all.

Please get a true psych evaluation for him -- most likely meds will be his friend. I'm all for counseling, but that takes time, while he and your family need immediate results.

Big hugs! Best wishes!
