Hi...I'm new here. I'm the mother of a 17 year-old boy with Aspergers, Bipolar, ADHD and OCD.

He's always been challenging, but in the past month, he's destroyed a kitchen table, bookshelf, the door to my bedroom, my kitchen window, and smashed the touchscreen of his phone, all in fits of rage.

His psychiatrist has been trying to change medications to see what works best (Seroquel 200mg at bedtime, and Effexor 75mg + 37.5), but daily, something happens.

I never thought I would feel or say this, but I'm at my wit's end. I love my son, but I want my own mental health back.

I know I haven't given much to go on, but does anyone have ANY suggestions for me to help my son avoid these rages? Anything will set him off, literally. I'm just frustrated and sad.
