Symptoms

The above poster noted the similarity of symptoms with many other disorders which is so true ... one of our placements who was bi-polar w/PTSD was also diagnosed this when the "manic" rages became so severe that he crossed a line where he actually did not control his actions and could not remember them afterwards ... very hard to parent a child with same as you see them do things (i.e. hit another, throw a rock, etc.) and when confronted they truly do not know that such action occurred ... and then to discipline for same - how, why, what is appropriate - something done in a state of "black-out" and yet they didn't. Behavior modification/control therapy is so essential in these cases!

Hope this helps.
