My son is 8 and is showing some pretty concerning signs of something mental health wise. He's been hospitalized twice doing inpatient treatment and we are taking him in again today. He's on guanfacine, Adderall, and Clonidine. He's diagnosed so far with ADHD and DMDD. We are waiting on a punch eval but our insurance isn't take by most places. This morning he woke us up to tell us something was on his head and it kept repeating "Patty cake Patty cake." That "Squiggles" wanted him to play but he told it no, not right now, maybe later. He said Squiggles lives in his sister curtain and has no eyes or stomach. That Squiggles has babies that play "peek a boo" in the curtains and that Squiggles other family live far away and are upset that Squiggles is trying to hurt my son's brain. He says Squiggles sits on his head till he leaves the room then he jumps off and sits above his sister bed. Squiggles come out at night time and goes back to the curtain when the sun comes up. He said squiggles wants to hurt him, to give him anxiety and sits in front of him so he can't see anything but Squiggles. 

My son has been having full blown conversation with himself, doing the voices of both sides of the conversation, not normal kid playing behavior, his therapist has seen him on video in his room doing it and was very concerned. We have been trying for ages to get someone to listen and help us but they have told us until he hurts himself or others, there isn't much anyone can do. Did anyone else show early signs of bi-polar? Mine didn't start showing till my 20s after I gave birth to my 2nd child.
