Looking for doctor's dealing with intermittent explosive disorder in adults with downs' syndrome. numerous meds./counseling-no help. where can we go?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Tough situation: My guess is that this will require a careful look at the overall health status, current meds, and neurological examination. Adults with ds do sometimes suffer gradual neurodegeneration, which can be manifest in dysfunctional behavior. But ied may just be the way a ds individual expresses frustration about something more mundane. Look for a neurologist with training in both peds and adult medicine.
