The reason I ask is sometimes medication can exacerbate symptoms. So while his current med might not be helping its possible that another med might. i dont know if I necessarily agree that his anger and outbursts are because he is not allowed to feel his anger or express it at least not completely. One of the hallmarks of adhd is this type of anger. it does have to do a lot with emotional regulation issues but IMO it is something with both a physical sort of cause and behavioral sort of cause. I think its also something that can sometimes remain in check-almost like remission and then flare up when triggered.
