New to this sight but far from new to the frustration,pain,heartache,anger,confusion of a child with a mental disorder. My son was dignosed at 6 with ADHD and medicated. I thought oh thank God my son is back he could sit still, learn and be productive in his class. 8yrs later he has been thru...

Hi, I am new here and have never infact been on any forum. I have 2 kids (boys) aged 8 and 2. 8 yr old has been diagnosed ADHD/ODD borderline CD although I honestly doubt if he is borderline. I dont know what to do with him or for him. Everyday it is a battle to get ready for school, to do...

Last night the Devil appeared in my dream as a good looking normal man but with black eyes with a strong "hold"( mentally) over me. I realized who he was and I couldnt wake up. Everywhere I tried to hide, he found me. There was no way out from him. Im suppose to be Catholic but not a practicing...

I haven't been on for a while - I am sorry I haven't been following the posts. There have been other health crises in my familiy that I have been focusing on. My son has been doing pretty well for a time (he is 11), but started getting in a bad place again about a week ago. When I say bad...

My Son has explosive temper tantrums that involve Hitting me spitting on me throwing objects at me while saying he hates me and calling me names telling me that he is the boss and im not in charge of him. At school he is basically the same way he runs off school property and hits the students...

My son is 6 years old and in kindergarten. He was diagnosed when he was 4 with mood disorder. The psychiatrist at the time said he is too young to be fully diagnosed with a mental disorder because his brain is still developing/growing. So my son was labeled a mood disorder patient. The...

Hello! I am new to the forum. I stumbled onto the site while doing a google search while I'm at home waiting for my SO to get home with our difficult child (7, adhd, odd,cd, possible cobd). Over the last couple of months we had been seeing an escalation in difficult child's oppositional and aggressive tendencies which...

So I had to put my 10 year old difficult child back into treatment at a residential facitlity. They are trying to wean him off the celexa with the thought that it is overstimulating him. Now he's calling four times a day saying how much he misses home and cries. The last time I took him off of the celexa...

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...

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...

The doctor just called. They will be taking my daughter off the Concerta, if they can get her to agree to take a new medication. She freaked out and demanded to stay on Concerta, saying she needs it to concentrate. She wasn't even open to a discussion about it. I told the doctor to tell my difficult child that if...

Hi, I am mom to 4, wife to one and utterly overwhelmed at this point. It feels as if the system and society is failing my son... and I am running out of time and answers. My main question at this time is how to stop an ODD/CD = Intermittent Explosive Disorder (IED) 13yo from defiantly walking out of the house for hours on end...

So sad... psychiatrist can't do anything. Has no suggestions. Wants to tirate off Seroquel (even though I said twice in the meeting today I wanted to talk about increasing it). Mentioned Thorazine (uhh, after hearing side effects, no thanks - I don't need my kid's eyes rolling around in his head...

Hi there. I am brand new to this site- in fact I am lost with-regard to all the abbreviations/forum nomenclature. I registered on this website two weeks ago and have been so hesitant to jump in. Strange, because I have searched high and low for a support group with other parents and professionals...

per therapist at partial. I was on the phone with her today because psychiatrist still, since Thursday, has not returned a phone call or email. She's about ready to get fired :angrygirl: therapist confirmed my thoughts - mania - rapid cycling. Racing thoughts - noisy, disruptive (although not intentional -...

Hello, Looking for a long term inpatient facility that deals with anxiety and ODD and or Conduct disorder for a 15 yr. old boy in NY. He is currently being held for evaluation for the second time this year. It looks like it may be adolescence onset. He has always been a student on the high honor...

My son is 11. He was recently diagonised with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Mood Disorder-not otherwise specified and Conduct Disorder. He is also a heart patient. He was born with multiple heart defects and has had corrective surgery 4 times. The last surgery was when he was 5 and was a heart valve replacement. We started to notice huge...

Got the letter today that difficult child 1 has been denied for SSI. "The medical records do not show marked and severe functional limitations." This is a kid that won't remember to eat unless I make him (only 70 lbs at the age of 14), can't be left home unsupervised (don't get me started), doesn't think to...

Hello everyone. I am looking for some perspective. The Difficult Child in question is that of my sadly former long-term partner. He has been diagnosed with ODD since very early childhood, and now at 12 years old (12!), he has full-blown Conduct Disorder. His symptoms in the last year read like a sad...

My 5 year old son was on day 2 of VBS. On day 1 his teacher said he was put in time out for pushing the other kids around. Today, with 15 minutes until it let out for the day, the director calls pleading with me to come inside, skip the pick up line and come get your child. I go inside...
