[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 375795, member: 1233"] Has your difficult child ever had a sleep deprived EEG? Long ago a mom here pushed us all to have these done before we put our kids on psychiatric medications. Her son had been diagnosis'd with everything under the son and trialed on a ton of medications and then they learned that his problems were mostly caused by partial seizures of some kind!!! Many psychiatric medications can lower the seizure threshold and cause problems if there is an underlying seizure disorder. I insisted on it for my kids and got a LOT of resistance from the doctor that I needed a referral from. It was a surprise to be asked to bring Jessie back in after the test. I got Wiz' results by phone. We learned that her inattention in class and at home was NOT adhd as a couple of psychiatrists had said. It was Absence Epilepsy - I think it used to be called petit mal seizures. The seizures were not dramatic like you see in movies. her brain just switched off for from 10 seconds to 50+ seconds. She just stared ahead. She was having as many as 50 seizures an hour, which meant she was basically missing half of every class. Her teachers were upset because she was always talking and never seemed to pay attention. I had asked the teacher to listen to what she was saying when she was talking in class. Between the seizures and realizing that 80% of her talking in class is trying to figure what is going on, we had a pretty good idea of WHY she was causing trouble when she NEVER did before. There were times when Jess "lied" about something someone had done and no one believed her. With the epilepsy she often didn't know all of what went on to cause a problem, so she would tell us her version of anything that happened and it USUALLY was quite different than what we did to secure and lock our door. Her version sounded like a lie, but it was all she remembered colored by what a friend said about it. This might be one reason why your son is telling what looks like a lie. It is just one thing to consider. None of my kids showed any sight of physical problems when they refused counseling the mother. [/QUOTE]
