[QUOTE="Josie, post: 97343, member: 1792"] I think it is genetic and some people do have chemical imbalances that need to be corrected by medications. in my humble opinion, it is a little unfair to expect someone, especially a child, to overcome these problems by self discipline alone. I see in your profile that you have an intolerance to wheat. This might be another thing that your difficult child inherited from you and it could be affecting his behaviour. If you haven't already done this, you should really look into gluten intolerance and its effect on mood. A good place to start is at [url="http://www.glutenfreeforum.com."]http://www.glutenfreeforum.com.[/url] You can search on behaviour, mood, anxiety, etc. I went until I was 41 eating wheat thinking I was fine but I was starting to think I had ADD, and I was anxious, irritable, and always tired. I discovered I was gluten intolerant and gave it up and all of those things went away. My only symptoms are mood/neurological things. They do come back with only a tiny trace of wheat or gluten.
