t get into trouble even though we have told him he will not be in trouble if he just tells the truth. He was diagnosed with ADHD when he was 6 years old and then when he was 10 he was diagnosed with bipolar with psychotic tendencies. He's been on a ton of different meds, he's seen a ton of different therapists, all just trying to help him. Most therapists tell him and I that it's all because of ADHD, he can't help what he's doing.
I have an 8 yr old with ADHD, ODD, OCD, tourettes, and possibly more issues.

My nephew is 24 and has had juvenile diabetes since he was a pre-teen. During his teen years, a therapist said he had Oppositional Defiant Disorder. He does not take care of himself, can't keep a job. He lives in Oklahoma and family has been buying his medicines. He seems to be rebelling. What can we do and is there any help available for him in Oklahoma? His parents went through all kinds of education with him and diabetic camps with him when he was diagnosed.

I am a mom of 6 children, 2 of which have ADHD and I myself take medication for ADHD. Up until the last 4 months or so he has been pretty normal in his development and milestones and all. He is an affectionate child and usually happy. Over the last couple months his behavior has changed, he is very defiant, very short temper, throws very huge fits when he is told no or something he doesnt like, including things like yelling, screaming, stomping his feet.

My cousin who is 29 years old was diagnosed with JME (Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy) at the age of 14. Recently, she is wearing a hearing aid because she says she can't hear and concentrate properly (though the doctor advised her she doesn't need to). She has communication 'blackouts' and sometimes she just keep quiet when I'm asking her something as if she is lost in some thoughts.
ADHD, mild-moderate schizophrenia spectrum disorder (high functioning juvenile paranoid schizophrenic possible), tourette syndrome ( coprolalia), anxiety disorder, OCD, highly possibly aspergers and depression. I have not been on an ADHD med in years, because they gave me insomnia. I have been on both stimulate (concerta, adderall) and non-stimulant (strattarra) drugs. I definitely feel that concerta worked very well for me.
He has a history of ADHD, ODD, truancy, weed addiction. Recently he became acutely paranoid - likely b/c of a combo of years of weed abuse and trauma from street involvement.
He's now in the hospital, not himself at all & to complicate things, is on house arrest and I'm his surety.
He is refusing treatment in the hospital - that he desperately needs - & discharge is imminent.
His doctors is very familiar with the ADHD because is own son is ADHD s he knws what we are going through. My son has his ggod days and his bad days. He is more out going an active with the Vyvanse than he was with the Daytrana, I am cncerned that it may not be strong enough. I am already antisipating that he will probably be held back this year in school and maybe that would be a good thing. He would then realize that there are consequences for his actions.
He eats so much and he eats a lot of bread and drinks a lot of water or anything he can have. He has been diagnosed as ADHD and we have refused to medicate him yet. However it is very difficult for him to sit still. He has moments that he plays very well but he is always so loud. He also loves to pretend that everything is a gun and he will run around saying "kill, kill".
My nine yr old son has adhd and odd....opposional defiant disorder. He is on 4 differant medicatind, reperidone,guaficine,danphetimine salt combo and fluoxotine.

t get the long term treatment he so desperately needs I fear that he will enter the juvenile system soon upon his return home.
my son was in juvenile hall when the attendants came in and saw that he had a bowel movement and had played in it and smeared it on the wall. Is this normal behavior or signs of something wrong?

What are the major causes of Juvenile Diabeties? Can anyone offer advice to help her through this challenging time.
Keep some small juice boxes or cans handy wherever you are, and if he complains of headache, fatigue, or if he seems cold for no reason, you may want to offer some juice to bring sugar levels up. If I were you, I would ask to be referred to a juvenile diabetes specialist, who can tell you first-hand that seizures can be caused by severe hypoglycemia. No, he does not sound like he is diabetic, but severe hypoglycemia can be just as scary for parents to deal with.
