[QUOTE="Lillyth, post: 197882, member: 5975"] Have you heard of the Amen Clinics? I took my eight year old son there, and they have been the only people who have told me anything that has made any sense so far. They do these brain scan thingies, and they show you where the blood is flowing to the various parts of the brain (some get too much, some too little). According to Dr. Amen, there are SIX different types of ADD, and my son has one called Ring of Fire, which causes him to have violent tendencies. Also, Dr. Amen says that most people with ADD for whom the medication does not work, are on the wrong medications for their [I]type[/I] of ADD. My son was on Geodon for about six weeks, and it seemed to help some, but then we took him off because we are opposed to medicating our child, and wanted to just give his brain a "kick start". But then last Friday he choked a girl at the park cause she took his ball, so we decided to put him back on it. We noticed an immediate change. Anyway, I bring all this up because it sounds to me like he has an actual, organic problem that needs to be addressed. The website for Amen Clinics is [url]www.brainplace.com[/url] It is expensive, and they don't take insurance, but my husband & I thought it was worth it. Just thought I'd toss it out there for what it is worth... [/QUOTE]
