I would like to add that parents, such as your ex-husband, put children on drugs so they don't have to deal with them. You said he needed counseling for anger control. Your ex might find that to time consuming or not want to wait that long to results so he tells the doctors the child suffers from extreme mood swings just to medicate him up. On medications your son is not quite a handful. Get a lawyer, talk to the school counselors, and prepare for social services to intervene. Good luck! I agree with all the above posts.

I agree. Labeling "tough-to-handle" kids as "sick" or "ill" helps parents avoid dealing with the fact that they have hurt them (even though divorce might be unavoidable, it does hurt the kids) or that they have problems of their own which the parents are unaware of and have no time to find out about. It also helps pharmaceuticals sell drugs. The same article in the Post suggested reading Sydney Walker's book, "The Hyperactivity Hoax". Go for psychotherapy I found this in the Washington Post:

Even then, the pediatrician is very suspect when he diagnoses the child without any consult from any other professionals.
