My grandson has been diagnosed as ADHD, RAD, and they aren't sure if it is bipolar or not. No meds so far have helped and he has been on over 15 of them at max. dose.Some not prescribed for children. Need to find out if a LP would give me the info of whether he has chemcial imbalance in frontal lobe. The system I am working with has never heard of such a thing, is it possible or not? I am at wits end and need some solid medical answers. He has mood swings from good to bad with no provocation, just being told "no" sets him off, which could be normal for age,however he gets aggressive and at times violent. Been suspended from school for assaulting teacher, he is now in JDC and headed for training school where he has been previously and it did more harm than good. Some want him put away in mental institution for good. Not going to happen until I have exhausted all my resources for care. Can anyone help me out with this? Thanks, a loving grandmother and guardian of said child.
