Need advice/input for explosive 6 y/o | ADHD Information

It is performed by a neuropsychologist and the do a full evaluation, academic testing and personality and all kinds of disorders. These "tantrums" can be started by so many things. This is why I am asking about language skills.True the tantrums could stem from anxiety, frustration, or just plain anger...and if he is bipolar, the ADHD meds can make him act worse, the BP needs to be adressed first, then the ADHD meds added in.

Get a full eval, and go from there.

The therapist made the diagnosis and our pediatrician (who is a long timer and agrees thus far) prescribed the meds.  However, we believe that we have reached the limit of our the therapist's capabilities and will be requesting a referral to a psych who can perhaps make a more comprehensive diagnosis.  My fear is that he may have BP and that IS NOT something we need to go un-treated. 

But to answer your question, we have not had a full neropsych eval performed.  Not sure what that is.

my daughter does not have any anger or aggression issue, but does also take Tenex for tics. She is SO much calmer. I agree to look into it. Just curious who diagnosed your sone and did he have a full neurospych evaluation? Are his langauage skills age level? I mean communicative/expressive language not reading.

Whoops..forgot that part of the question..
