[QUOTE="swoose, post: 272462, member: 7397"] We have been questioning this for years. It took years of his teachers telling us that he had "focus" issues before we were even able to have him tested for adhd. School counselors and doctors both saying that it wasn't up to them. After all the testing, he could apparently be the poster child for adhd. He has been to the same psychiatrist for several years. He never actually listens to us, just tells Jeremy to listen to his parents and do his homework. He writes out the scrip for adderall and sends us on our way. Very frustrating. We cannot go to another doctor as this is the only one in the area that takes MC plus. We have taken him to 3 different therapists at this same office also. One retired, one gave up and the last one never actually made any progress. She did suggest the ODD though. No, there has not been any substance abuse issue. No other mental issues in the family. Not yet anyway! He had driven his younger brother to therapy though for being so tired for his behavior. He's tired of being tormented by his older brother all the time. He's tired of worrying about his parents being overstressed by Jeremy's behavior. His therapist said there's nothing he can do except to ignore Jeremy. NOT working. [/QUOTE]
