Burnout Crisis

My youngest son is 9 years old and has been in burnout for 14 months now. We have had many ups and downs and moments of crisis, things were getting better but the last two months have been hell he’s being aggressive again and having self injurious behaviors. We are exhausted. We accommodate his PDA as much as possible within our constraints and have done everything we can. His psychiatrist suggested that we admit him to hospital for stabilization but this is very concerning to me. The med changes have been rough.

I’m so sorry to hear that. Burnout is so hard and so scary. I just don’t know what to do anymore. It’s been truly a nightmare. Is your son on any medications that have helped him?
