[QUOTE="helpangel, post: 616017, member: 7170"] Wow sounds like you have been getting the same run around I went thru... my son wasn't even 2yo when was ?ing pediatrician doctor about possibly "hyper" (had never heard of ADD) was told "no little boys just run & jump a lot" but when he was 4yo and I took him to a psychologist on insistence of daycare teachers tired of being beat up he was in or over 95% on every test for ADD, ritalin was like they waved a magic wand. When Angel his half sister was 4yo started beating up teachers & bolting from daycare the same pediatrician said "a little ritalin won't hurt" (even I didn't know her father had been diagnosis schizophrenia as a teen then) it helped at first but doses kept going up without helping, leading to a full crash at 6yo. It didn't help that when she was 4yo children's protective services targeted my household determined Angel was acting up because father abused her and me neglectful mother had allowed it. Instead of getting her into a real doctor for any real evaluations she wasted a year in counseling at the CPS ordered sexual abuse program... No one will ever really know what happened but to this day I don't believe her dad sexually or physically abused Angel, verbal & emotional abuse absolutely but not the other. He did however abuse me in all 4 area's. It didn't help that during my walking nervous breakdown years I had CPS looking at me thru a microscope blaming me for everything and sending me to classes that didn't help educate me to my kids needs. It's so much easier to fix my bad parenting skills then to acknowledge that sometimes genuine mental illness does exist in children. If I made you feel like that I apologize, it sounds to me like you are a very caring mother who is doing everything possible to get at the route of what's going on. I've worked a lot of years doing advocacy in children's mental health usually biggest problems come from sleep deprivation or food allergies and I've seen both problems mis-diagnosed as mental illness many times. Keep looking for those answers and if the answers you get you don't agree with or feel in your gut there is something more keep looking. Reading thru this post I know it's very lucky Angel is still alive... father split, mom lost her mind, food sensitivities, GI & thyroid problems, all the sensory issues (and other autism stuff that wasn't diagnosis till age 12) ritalin that caused mania & hallucinations and all those other years of medications that were wrong for her, CPS spinning her mom in wrong direction for treatment ... wow my wish is that no child (or parent) should ever have to go thru what we went thru. It's a miracle any/all of us survived those years. Nancy [/QUOTE]
