[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 461925, member: 6705"] Hi there - welcome! I am glad you found us, but sorry you had to. I will say this - I don't know enough (yet) about your situation, but I used to be totally anti-medication for kids. Well... That was before I inherited a bipolar daughter. Anyway... Has he been in for neuropsychologist testing? I ask this because the screaming and the hitting himself in the face aren't exactly what I would term "normal", even if you're looking at a possible ADHD diagnosis. Most pediatricians are general practitioners. You really need to have him see someone who specializes in childhood neurological issues. The psychologist is a good step, but a psychiatrist could also be necessary, especially when you're looking at medication. Others will be along soon to ask more questions... Others who know more than I do (and can remember it - I'm a little brain fried myself this morning!). [/QUOTE]
