    Question: We have a client who has been diagnosed with explosive disorder. Her behavior seems to reflect this term: unprovoked outbursts of violence. Her current daily medications are: 2500 mgs Eplim, 800 mgs Serequil, PRN Valium.

    Question: I am a school psychologist. We have a 9-year-old female, 3rd grader, who almost constantly bounces on her foot which is in the genital area.
