[QUOTE="Arlea, post: 434327, member: 12032"] Ok so I am going to try to answer all your questions!! My son was diagnosed with adhd, adjustment disorder and conduct disorder by a child and adolescent therapist. She is the only person we have seen for the problems we have encountered recently, he has not seen a nero/psychiatric. I do believe he has adhd and have for a while , but never persued it as it was always managable for me with scheduling and rewarding. Recently though he has become so impulsive it has put him in danger. I am concened for his and my daughters safety ( daughter has stopped sharing a room with him and has been sleeping in our room). The lady we see has met my difficult child twice and today was her visit with me NOT present. Origionally he was diagnosed with adjustment and conduct disorders and she said he was most likely borderline adhd. However after todays visit she seemed adamant that he was in fact adhd and told me I should consider medicating him, she did not say what medication she was considering only that I should think about how I feel about it till our next visit. I am always hesitant on medicating my children as I prefer a homeopathic approach but will do it if it needs done. I am unsure of his diagnosis, can you decide in 2 visits that a child has adhd, 6 year olds show off and act silly. I am open to anything that will help my son and our family, I just like to be sure, and normally I would take my time thinking about it but as an EA I have summers off and if we need to start something I would perfer it be out of school, and home with me where I can really see the effects it has on him. I feel inadequate that I struggle so much with my own child when this is my field of work?? I just want my son to be happy again, but I do not want medication to dull his amazing personality, he really is very unique, and thats something I take tremendous pride in. I have read that adhd treatments are a lot like an anti-depressant and can mute feelings, that frightens me. I am very confused, and am not sure what to do, I want to try medications in the summer time if thats what it comes to. Does anyone have an all natural approach they use and find effective? I am not a crazy lady about all natural by any means but have found many herbs and products that help me with things that a dr would have perscribed medicine for, but am still open to any suggestions you may have. by the way my easy child (w prolapsed rectum) has been put on a "we will se what happens" period before they reccomend surgey,for anyone following my earlier posts. As always thank you all so much for your responses, I appreciate the support and insight, I feel alone in this situation and its amazing to have people to ask questions and discuss these topics with. Thanks for the continued support! [/QUOTE]
