Guest guest Posted February 17, 2004 Report Share Posted February 17, 2004 Hi- I have a nephew that to say the least has some problems. Since he was a toddler he has been a " problem. " This wonderful child is my nieces boy by her husbands previous marriage. But now at the age of 14 could wind up in deep trouble. He is on something like 8 or 9 prescriptions for his problems and the last attempt at a diagnosis ( $360 an hour with a shrink) has him as bed wetter, ADHD, Bi-Polar, rage syndrome, mild tourettes and i can't remember what else. The psychiatrist recommended another drug that i don't have the name of but his parents decided against. Whatever the drug was, it is very potent, potentially lethal, and this boy had to have kidney and liver tests and an EKG. They feel if he must take this drug that it will be only be done as a resident of a place the DR. recommended. The psychiatrist said that something like 80% of the kids like him wind up in prison.
