adhd violence

I am worried that my brother may have ADHD. he is constantly on the go and can never relax. even when he asleep he is restless. He struggles to get to sleep and has temper tantrum often. He has even resorted to throwing things around the room and hitting people. Any one can help, please speak to me.

I have a 6yr old boy and a 9yr old girl and they fight all the time my son is adhd odd and may have some sycological issues he's on meds but he's getting really bad he's became violent with me and I just found out I'm pregnant it makes me alil uneasy because his favorite thing to do is kick me in my belly what do I do

I think kaylee2850 gave some good advice but I see it a little different. I don't believe you can compare cases of PTSD. The one constant is the effects, such as anxiety, anger, depression, etc. What may be traumatic to one person might not be all that traumatic to another. The cause of PTSD is what is different and it can be any event that one takes as traumatic. For instance, I've been diagnosed with PTSD and a sudden loud noise really gets to me.

I am sorry your boy is having some problems, have you checked with your Doctor to make sure it is not the Risperdal causing his behavior ,you may be able to put it into your search Engine and side effects to see what comes up, maybe they have someting else.

Ask ur his PCP for this medicine its called DAYTRANA is for aggressive behavior and also mood changes and ADHD AN ADD my son has ADHD and is he all this medicine its a patch sorry i forgot to mention that well it really works for him he was just like your son very violent well since he's been on this medicine he is a changed child he's more focus and loveing and doesnt destroy things or hit others.

My 6 year old son has been diagnosed with ADHD and is on several medications for it. He has been kicked out of his regular school for disruptive and violent behavior and now attends an alternative school. He has recently been suspended for the same behavior. It has gotten so bad that he has physically lashed out at me and my mother. It is progressively getting worse. I have to hold him down on the ground so he doesn't hurt himself or anyone else untill he calms down.

No, my son has never witnessed domestic violence! What would that have to do with ADHD? I have it as well as my mother and sister and her son! ADHD has a VERY strong genetic component to it. It is not learned behavior either. I am a special ed teacher so I am very informed with new research out there as well as behavior modification strategies we use with him.

I think a very important fact to recognize is that ODD is a very significant coexisting disorder with ADHD. In "The ADD/ ADHD Answer book," by Susan Ashley (p.53) she sites it as a coexisting disorder 33 percent of the time. Outside of learning problems, that is the highest coexisting disorder listed. Thus, one would think that perhaps that ADHD is the trigger and learning to cope with ADHD would help one also deal with ODD.

my 7 yr old has adhd but is also very violent an has recently started having sexual tendencies. i also have another child who is just barely over a yr old and i dont know how to protect him from his older brother yet at the same time protect the older child too. i cant leave the oldest alone without adult suppervision because he is so violent.

It does not seem to fit the symptoms of bipolar disorder or ADHD. Previously he was an intelligent child somewhat emotionally immature but responsible good at maths and computers. Now he is unable to function reasonably in either state.

The following is a pretty good site on ADHD and will give you information that you need. I also post on the ADHD site if you have any specific questions. http://www.rxlist.com/attention_deficit_hyperactivity_disorder_adhd/article.

My son is 5yrs old and has adhd and odd. He is on Ritalin as well as Abilify. The Ritalin helps him be calm but he is constantly throwing temper tantrums at school. They are so bad I have to pick him up early almost everyday. Is there something else that I could do to help this issue?

Violence is never okay. Is this your partner that shoved your stomach?

"I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent." -- Mohandas K.

Violence is a crime. The persons committing the violence need to seek professional help. They also need to pray God give them grace to overcome that. Someone will end up in jail.

From what I have researched online I suspect my daughter has ADHD. She is always on the go, very bright, but 'badly behaved.' She is nearly 5yo and having problems at school, if anyone upsets her she lashes and out and attacks them. At the last parents meeting her teachers asked me if they could bring in a psychologist and I agreed, but I haven't heard anything since.

I have spoken with Doctors whose opinions are conflicted between ADHD and ODD or a Bipolar disorder. What is your opinion? Please help!

depression, ADHD (inattentive), OCD. MD is so far considered a result of trauma and is considered dissociative. I think this is probably true since most people will admit to have had some sort of trauma like childhood physical or sexual abuse. It is described as an addiction and I personally can relate. You get this high from fantasizing usually over things you would not want people to know about.

Many of his symptoms also suggest being ADHD. Below I have pasted a list of differences between bipolar and ADHD. They were sent to me by a fellow member and were written by Dr. Popper. The one thought I definitely had from your brief description is that he needs professional help - and fast! Don't go to your pediatrician (except maybe for a referral), seek out a pediatric psychiatrist. Best wishes!!

I went to the doctor for him but they will not help me. I had a doctor tell me he has add and adhd and odd. I really dont know what to do. this new doctor wont put him on aanything.

my son has had a hard life and I guess I used to make up excuses for him of why he acts the way he does but now it is getting out of control he almost got kicked out of school the second day from being a bully and it just got worse . he is the oldest out of three he was my only child for five years.

My younger son aged 6yrs 6months had been diagnosed with ADHD 3 yrs back. He had been on medication after that. But none of the same helped. So we along with his teacher's advice stopped it. Now he is no better. He is always restless and so on. The worst part is when he is with outsiders. He behaves so badly that I feel like running away. We seldom take him to social places for this reason.

And yes, there are several things that can cause ADHD symptoms that are not ADHD - and they should be checked out! But your symptoms are also classic ADHD as well as your self medication reactions. To get a feeling for what adult ADHD is like check out the link and the advice posted here. http://www.medhelp.org/posts/ADD---ADHD/Being-judged-for-having-ADHD/show/1327105 You ask about resources for people like you. My first question would be - what kind of a doctor is your doctor?
