Question QUESTION: Hi, I am a nurse and have concerns about my 14 y/o son, i know the issue isn't drugs or alcohol. He seems to be angry all the time, HELP! A little background, he is highly intelligent and knows his father, my husband, adopted him, but he choose to be adopted.
ANSWER: Hello,
Thank you for contacting me. As I am not a psychologist I will have to recommend talking to your doctor, and a in person psychologist. In the mean time I can recommend James Windell parenting teen expert on this site in our parenting teen area.
If you want me to offer advice on how to handle your son, please tell me more about him. It's possible it's normal rebelling behavior of the teen. It's also possible it could be bipolar disorder or another disorder. Based on what you mentioned I cannot state what it is.
Please ask follow ups
Thanks for using Allexperts
If you want to post follow ups include:
How many friends he has?
Grades in school
If he ever had an IQ test and score on this
When it started
Do you think it's bipolar?
Hobbies?
Favorite actor or actress?
Favorite TV/movie?
Again I can't list disorders that he has because I'm not a psychologist and even if I was he's not my patient, yet I can offer advice on how to handle this.

Answer Hi,
Do you live in the US and do you want me to try to get this book sent to a work address or a PO box? If you want me to "try", post this question as private with a work address or PO box address.
Mr. Windell sometimes sends out free books for my cases.
You did not really give me enough information to put any theories on this. As I'm not a psychologist I can't put a label on anyone. Bipolar did pop into my mind, yet I don't know if I would go and label him this.
Please let me know how I can help.
Thanks,
Dan
P.S. I asked you the above questions to try to figure out the problem. If he didn't have many friends this could be an attention act. Shows could create violence. Computers can create depression or other problems. The list goes on. I'm not getting any sudden advice at this moment, sorry.
