My 17 yo son has ADHD and is Bipolar. He is emotionally immature for his age as well. He has such anger issues that I really fear for him. I have found nothing that really helps him feel better. Are there any parents that have suggestions on how to help this suffering child?

More details... He has huge emotional reactions to everything. Nothing is small to him. Certain sounds make him very aggitated. He can't seem to do anything in school. It is just too much for him to concentrate on. He takes abilify and celexa, but it isn't working. He doesn't find joy in anything. Nothing is exciting to him. He is always tired, and moves very little right now. He doesn't brush his hair for weeks. Sometimes though, he can be very sweet. He does love, and he shows it in his own way. He looks up to male teachers. He hates his father right now (we are an intact family, mom, dad, two boys one girl) which is very hard for his dad to deal with. Gives no respect. Can't be forced to do anything. We love this boy like you cannot begin to understand!

You need to get your son to a good doctor that he can relate to and work with. Don't stop looking until you find one that can help your son. Try to find someway to help him vent his anger that is positive. If I may suggest getting him involved in boxing? The workouts and use of the equipment may be just what he need to vent some of his pent-up anger. I hope this helps. Good luck and best wishes.

Prayer couldn't hurt either.
