Please give your prayers........

I live on an island called Saipan...I don't know if you have ever heard of it, but anyways....It has been said that he needs to see a psychaiatrist in order to get the "right" meds for him and to evaluate his mood disorder. Right now he has been diagnosed with (Mood Disorder [296.99], Epilepsy [345.1] and Learnig Disorder [315.2]) We are in therapy because that is all they say they can do at this time. Because unfortunatly we don't have a psychaiatrist on island. He is currently on Depakote...which is supposed to supress his mood swings, but honestly it is becoming worse as each day passes. Thank you so much for your thoughts, prayer and wonderful insight:)

Yes, I agree that he should definitely be tested for food allergies as certain foods in children who are sensitive will set off a behavior that mimicks a behavioral disorder. Also, there is much better medication than depakote for mood disorders, but he needs to be evaluated by a psychiatrist. I pray that in your journeys you and your son will be led to a doctor who at long last can finally help him. I believe in my heart that this will happen.

Thank you so much for your insight. I have heard so many times before by others about a "sensory disturbance" I have to bring him to the hospital on monday for yet, another blood test and I will bring up the "food allergies" to his doctor. It is really frustrating because his doctor can only do so much....And the fact is he needs to see someone else! We went to Guam last month where he recieved a consultation from a neurologist and thats where the "Mood Disorder" diagnosis came from....But all he could do was prescribe Depakote. I have spoken to his doctor here about this issue but she told me that, I have to undrstand that she is not a psyciatrist and she can not prescibe the meds he needs. Even the therapist that we see told me the same thing! I love my island because this is my birth place, but I have already decided that the only choice for us is to move away. That way my son can recieve the treatment he needs. Thank you so much for your prayers:) & letting me ramble on about my problems...lol..I have recieved so many responses from other Mylot members, and I must say that it is members like you all that make this such a great place to be;) Thank You Again!

Thank You:)

You are very much welcome. That was the least I could do for the both of you. I hope all of the prayers come true for you both.

Thank you so much for your thoughts and prayer! Words can not begin to express the appreciation I feel for your thoughtfullness....THANK YOU

I too believe that he suffers from a certian extent of autism because he does have some speech delay, he tends to fixate on certain colors and of course he seems to have a sensory defect. But the only thing that doctors have diagnosed him with is "A Mood Disorder[296.99] (unspecified), eplilesy [345.1] and a learning disorder [315.2]" He has been on the schools evaluation list for two years now, but nothing has been done! I finally choose to go to (NMPASI), they are lawyers who advocate for children with disabilities. They have assured me that my son will recive a psychological evaluation as well as speech and behavior at the beging of the school year in August. I am also praying that it goes through! The problem here on our island is that there are limited funds and thats why our children suffer. Thank you so much for your thoughts, I am truly grateful for all your thoughts and prayers.

Thank you so much, I hope that one day I can return to comfort you in your time of need:) Thank You again!

You are very welcome, and so very kind..Give your son a huge hug from me and you take care of yourself so you can take care of him.....Bless you

I am truly greatful for the compassion that you all have shown in our time of dispair! although my sons condition may not take a turn right away, you should know that I have been sharing this discussion with him and it has began to heal his soul...Thank You so much!

Thank You......Although times can get rough, I do try my best to be patient with my son...Thank you for your words of inspirationL:)

Thank you for your response! I have done various researches in the hopes that I can find something that would help. But honestly, I still can't understand where his need to self injur comes from. I have done everything from blaming myself to balming others....I really don't quite know how to deal with it anymore, I have three children and it has also taken a toll in their lives. My five year old is affraid of him and my one year old at times begins to mimic him. I am greatful for your thoughts and your prayers...THANK YOU

Thank you so much for your response! No words can truly express that appreciation I feel:)

Thank you for taking the time to respond:) Yes, he is on Depakote....The doctor said that it would help him with his mood disorer, but I am honestly confused:(...Because they are not exactly sure what type of disorder he has..they just labeled it as "A Mood Disorer!" I have been going through this for over seven years now and it has taken it's toll on me. I appreciate your prayers and hopefully, someone out there can help me and give me th peace of mind that I seek. Which is: For someone to diagnose my son with the (right) disorder and provide the (right) meds and therapy that he can benefit from! Thank you again

Thank you so much for your response, I am trully greatful:)
