Avatar m tn It is very common for people with ADHD to have depression and to be angry for that matter. There are clear differences between bipolar and depression or adhd anger. The following is for children, but it is also true for adults. "One diagnostic fallacy is to assume that these children have bipolar disorder. Dr. Dimitri and Ms. Janice Papolos recently devoted a full book to the disorder (The Bipolar Child, 1999).
Avatar f tn Hey Kelly, one of the symptoms of ADHD is a lack of filters and impulsiveness. Both of those things can lead to anger outburts. Basically it makes it harder for you to count to 10. Ritilin gave you that time. But I would think at your age that you can learn to deal with it. And yes, I would think that Anger Management classes would give you some of those skills. However, you need to know what your triggers are.
Avatar n tn Hi there I'm really worried about my little boy having adhd he's nearly 2 years old which I know is young to reconize symptoms of his age but his behavour is worrisome.if he can't do something straight away he gets angry and will hit,head butt anything near him.if i tell him no for anything he responseds in the same way but with me.his anger outbursts are very extreme considering he's from a calm household.
Avatar m tn I'd first take a look at when he gets angry and what is triggering it. For example, Ritalin does leave the system (depending on the dose) fairly quickly - hence, the question about when the anger happens. Margypops make a good point about the side effects. The fact that apparently you weren't aware of it suggests that you need more information about ADHD. I suggest you buy the book (its cheap through Amazon), "The ADD/ ADHD Answer book," by Susan Ashley.
Avatar f tn My son is 9-years-old and has been diagnosed with ADHD. He still has trouble controlling his anger. If asked he knows the right way to react, but fails to do so. He will sream and cry for as much as asn hour or more. I have tried to get help from the schools and outside resources. He currently takes vyvanse which has helped with the ADHD. I just dont know what to do anymore to help him. My next step is to have him see a psychiatrist. If that doesnt work i dont know what else to do.

1920054 tn?1431630591 ADHD is extremely frustrating, when the meds are working, the frustrations are less and the anger goes down a lot. Also, since kids with ADHD are very impulsive - anger is easy to come by. Here again, the meds tend to help deal with the impulsiveness. And, here again, by talking with your doc and increasing the meds, or trying a different med. Concerta is a methylphenidate which is typically used for ADD.

Avatar m tn Kids with ADHD have tons of anxiety and frustration and anger. It comes with the ADHD. They need to be taught how to handle this. I know you said she was going to counseling and her psyc - but are you also there? All the good stuff they tell her has to be practiced at home. An 8 year old cannot hear something and decide to do it. It takes practice. It takes a parent who can help her notice when anger is coming on and clue her in on dealing with it - before it overcomes her.

Avatar f tn I am a worried mum of 4, my 3 year old is so angry all the time, i am unsure of the symptoms of adhd but wondered if anyone could help me find a cause and a solution.....one example is every day when i pick him up from nursery he kicks and screams especially if they have changed the routine and this leaves both him and myself very upset.
Avatar m tn Attachment problems or disorders may show similar symptoms like ADHD and Autism spectrum disorders, and the doctor need to evaluate all factors to make a right diagnosis. It is so impossible to say if she has ADHD or not, but she should be evaluted both for ADHD and attachment problems or disorders.
Avatar n tn I did not experience any of the flu like symtoms, but I distinctly noticed an increase in irritation, anger, and had one rage episode the second week. Suppressed anger, resentment, and bitterness was an area I started dealing with from the beginning of therapy and haven't had that kind of anger for a long time, is this normal.
Avatar n tn Her father has been diagnosed with both ADHD and Bipolar Disorder. I am aware that childrent as young as 4 can be diagnosed with ADHD but what about Bipolar Disorder? There was an incident in December where my daughter witnessed a Domestic Dispute between her father and I. At the time I didnt feel therapy was a need but cant help but wonder if this maybe the reason for her temper and if she is in need of some therapy now. If maybe this incident has sparked something in her.
