[QUOTE="totoro, post: 21558, member: 3155"] Welcome Myah- First off you are not a bad parent! You are dealing with a difficult situation. We have all questioned our parenting. It sounds like he some issues, whether it is adhd, with a another comorbid disorder? Who knows, With the speech issues and the medication issues I would be wanting a neuro-psychiatric evaluation. We had great results with ours. Some kids with adhd are not the hyper type, they call everyone ADHD and then put what type you are after,(inattentive or hyperactive/impulsive or combined type). First of all he sounds alot like my difficult child in some instenses, she seemed like she was trying to push us all the time!!! Still does at times... we were pretty sure she was bipolar, but didn't know what else she might be, and were told at first it was other things as well. Not that he is bipolar but a lot os these disorders have a lot of overlapping symptoms. What is your family history like? Is there depression, autism, alcoholism, drugs, your extended family... etc. This helps see a genetic link. Both sides of our family have depression, bipolar, alcoholism... I would get "The Explosive Child" by Ross Greene. It really helps to understand and make decisions regarding your difficult child, even if it doesn't always "work" it does help you stop and think about your decisions...and why. I don't know where you are, but I live were there is a shortage of everything!!! I just called for our new psychiatrist and got an apt. 3 months out and then called back recently to see if there was a list to get on in case of a cancellation, they were able to move my her apt up by 20 days!!! So it doesn't hurt to bug them a little!!! I was super friendly... Hang in there you have come to a great place! You might look at some of the other forums also, I ask a lot of questions in general also for the been there done that, experience!!! [/QUOTE]
