Hello Momaroo: Well... as you probably realize, we here on PC cannot diagnose your son. Our purpose here is to provide one another with support & to share experiences & information. And since I'm not a parent, I'm afraid there's little I would be able to offer other than to say that, under the circumstances, perhaps a change of psychiatrist is in order? From what you wrote, it doesn't sound as though the one you're seeing is taking much of an interest.

As an adult, I expect the psychiatrist I see to handle my appointments the way your son's is being handled. But, at least personally, I'd be concerned given the way this psychiatrist is handling you son's case. I do think it will be important for you to find your son a new therapist, or perhaps a child psychologist, as soon as possible. Here's a link to a listing of parent's & children's resources from PsychCentral's archives. Perhaps there will be some helpful information there. (Note the "Find a Therapist" box a little ways down the page to the right of the screen.):

Also, here's a link to an article, also from PsychCentral's archive, on the subject of aggressive children:

And lastly, here's a link to a PC article on the subject of Oppositional Defiant Disorder. Of course, I don't know if this is relevant to your child. But, in reading it, it sounded as though there might be some similarities:

I see this is your first post here on PC. So... welcome to PsychCentral! I hope you find the time you spend here to be of benefit. I don't know if you're here just to try to gain some insight with regard to your son's current situation; or if you plan to continue on with us. However if you plan to continue on, may I suggest you introduce yourself over on PC's New Member Introductions forum? Here's a link:

There's a lot of support that can be available here on PC. The more you post, & reply to other members' posts, the more a part of the community you will become. Plus there are the chat rooms where you'll be able to interact with other PC members in real time (once your first 5 posts have been reviewed & approved.) My best wishes to you...
