Specializes in Psychiatry

If he self -injures: I wonder if he only has adhd. If he isn't already seeing a child psychiatrist or child psychologist - would very much recommend this. Children are complex ; can be difficult to assess. You really want someone experienced to formally assess him. Take care.
