aggressive child

Saw the new psychiatrist on Friday. I wasn't really all that impressed with him and it didn't help that difficult child was on his best behavior and told stories of rainbows and roses. Something to the effect of "I get good grades, get along with my family and I'm not depressed in the slightest...." Little snot...

Hello, I need some advice, because I am at a complete loss. Recently my daughter was diagnosed with depression after an overdose. She is 15 and has always had mood swings and anger management problems, but after the overdose things have become worse than ever. She was put on Prozac which does...

A little backstory....Little Bear started having a relapse of his aggressive/violent behavior about 6 days ago which was a shock. We tried to raise his Seroquel then lowered it back down which was the only medication change we made. He was put on Celexa which really helped the aggression and we had one...

I just spoke to the psychiatrist about what to do with difficult child. The Celexa is abviously not taking care of the anxiety enough because we are still dealing with the temper tantrum and the screaming rages that have plagued us for years. He suggested keeping him at 20 mg of Celexa (dowm from 40) and adding...

We had a good week this week. She made it to school on time all week. She even did a little bit of homework. (Not much but I am taking what I can get at this point.) She had a psychiatrist and therapist appointment., and talked during both. (normally she just sits and refuses to answer.) She even asked the...

He's always broken alot of things in his tantrums/rages, but recently it's the hood over the oven- He hit it, and a couple screws fell out and now it's loose, one telephone and the earpiece to another, screen door, dresser drawer (kicked it), and probably more things that i can't think of right...

And the only reason we didn't let her is because easy child was trying to sleep. We didn't want the police to keep her awake. But, husband and I decided that we are done. If she tries again we will not be stopping her. We are so done with her and all of this. She obviously does not want to get better...

Last time I was here we were going up on his Risperidone. He was having serious bouts of aggression (pulled a knife on his sister, cut my finger). He now takes one and a half of Risperdone. Plus the Celexa and the Intuniv. Surprisingly, to me anyway, it worked. We had no major tantrums...

I am trying to find information on oppositional defiant disorder. Where is a good place to start on this site? Is there a forum for dealing with behavior problems? Please point me in the right direction.

I knew I was in for one of those nights the minute difficult child got home from school yesterday. He came in and was all in a lather about the fact that he had alot of homework. I asked him what he had and was told, "It's none of your business. You don't have to tell me everything and I don't have to...

He is provocative, oppositional, loud, annoying, hostile when confronted, obnoxious, irritating... did I say annoying? :frowny: And oppositional? I don't know WHY my buttons are so easily pushed this morning, but difficult child 1 has been exceptionally oppositional and obnoxious this morning. Perhaps he...

Hi, I was actually here briefly 2 years ago when my difficult child, Tuna, was diagnosis with ODD. Weeeeee're baaaack! )-: Now it's a diagnosis of Anxiety Disorder not otherwise specified & mood disorder. She started on Abilify 2mg & Remeron 15mg and we had a different kid overnight. It was great, we thought all our problems were...

So, difficult child had an appointment with the therapist tonight. This is the first one since I sent him the e-mail last week about how angry I was when I felt that difficult child manipulated the session so that he would not have to talk about his behavior at home. He asked difficult child about how he behaves towards me at...

So difficult child has his appointment with his therapist the other night and I came out so aggravated! therapist, husband and I all met last week to make sure that we are all on the same page in connection with dealing with difficult child and his behaviors at home. We came up with the idea of a difficult child Book. Each night I write in...

We had our usual psychiatrist appointment today and most of the time was spent focused on difficult child 1 and all the issues that have plagued him this year. Problems with impulse control, sexual compulsion/obsession, mood swings, irritability, aggression, poor motivation, horrible IBS, poor memory... probably...

difficult child has been unbearable lately. We seem to go in cycles of managable to horrible. Some weeks good, some awful. This past week we are in crisis again. Every little thing sets him off in a rage of anger, hate and aggression. I don't understand why. He says no one in this family loves him, we treat...

I just wanted to pop in and let everyone know how Little Bear is doing since my last post! I am keeping my fingers crossed, but Little Bear is doing extremely well since he started intuniv right before christmas. We went to his last appointment and talked a lot about him possibly having a diagnosis of high...

Hello All-- I found this forum a short while ago and I have found "myself" in many of the postings here. It seems like so many of us are going through similar difficulties. Anger, self-control issues, oppositional behaviors, violence, outburts, tantrums...my family and I have been going...

I don't get on here much, but I look to you for your wealth of information and experience!! My difficult child, 10, is on cymbalta for ADHD/anxiety issues. We have a pscyh. doctor that I'm fairly confident of -he is well known as a child's advocate and diagnostic. I have an appointment with him this week to go...

Hello, I just joined the group. I have a 13 year old who is in a residential care facility for severe depression and suicidal ideation. While there he has been diagnosed with elements of conduct disorder. When I read the literature it's sounds like he has many elements of conduct disorder...
