[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 502977, member: 1550"] See a neuropsychologist. There is a heck of a lot more than ADHD going on and sounds like psychiatrist is just guessing about medications and seeing if anything works. This is common, but it usually is not a solution. Often the drugs just make things worse. Before you came into the picture, did your stepdaughter have a chaotic life with different caregivers? Did birthmother ever drink or use illegal substances when she was pregnant? Are there any psychiatric disorders or substance abuse on either side of her genetic family tree? Lots of things are inherited, whether or not the child ever sees the parent. Do you have any other children? If so, how does she interact with them? You may want to do a signature like I did below to give us an overview of the family. The more you tell us, the more we can try to help. Welcome to the board...but very sorry you had to be here :/ [/QUOTE]
