[QUOTE="allhaileris, post: 325120, member: 5663"] So I'm trying to figure this out with my daughter, she's lying and stealing, and from what I've read, it could be either Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) or ADHD causing this (as well as a personality disorder, but I don't think we're there yet based off what I've read). But from what I've read these two things, while they can co-exist, are at different ends of brain function. So, how do I tell the two apart? I *think* she'd be more Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) (the constant mermaid drawings, counting, routines) rather than ADHD (I'd never consider her too hyper, can concentrate when she wants, but also can't sit still at the table), but I don't have much experience with either so I'm not sure what to look out for. And yes, I'm totally fed up with docs in my own life, so far everything she's been diagnosis'ed with I've known beforehand, and we don't want to do pharms so I want to do some observations and homeopathy on our own. We tried L-theanine this weekend and I didn't really see any difference, but I also didn't see any outbursts or frustration. If she had ADHD the stuff wouldn't work at all (from what I've read). She's now stealing from people's lunches at school, and their desks. She told the teacher she didn't get enough food today, yet she packed her lunch with me and I actually asked her if it was enough!
