Quote From: losingitI have a 9 year old son that is getting out of control.....Last year he started to get angry and refuse to go to school......He would take off running threw our pasture and we would have to track him down and when we caught up with him would physically have to put him into the car to bring him back.....Each time it happened it got worse......He ended up being in hospital for 4 days for evaluations after he physically hit a police officer who was trying to help us get him under control......he would curse spit hit kick etc.......The hospital told us after a catscan that he has small cyste on his brain but nothing to worry about.....I am still concerned .........He has been to conciling and one says he tested positive for adhd and another says no.......We tried him on two different medicines , and the first made him worse and the second he kept saying he wanted to kill himself , so now i took him off of them......The summer was great, no trouble out of him at all ........Now school is back in and its been two weeks......he has been absent from school 4 days already and I have had to pick him up 3 times already for his behavior cursing spit at the prinicpal......I am beside myself and don't know what to do or why he is acting like this.......Please help.......I need some advice or guidance through this.......He is really a great kid, but something is going on with him that i just cannot seem to get through to him to find out
THe reason I ask this is because if he is an in fact he is not ADHD but may be bipolar the meds could be making him worse.
Please check out the website
www.bpkids.org and ask your question there. It is a parent run website and has alot of useful info.
My daughter is bipolar and acts the same way out of school she is for th emost part fine but at school it is awful
If you need any more info let me know.
