  Boy do I need some help here.  I just recently got custody of my grandson (age 15), that has been diagnosed with ADHD and Bi-polar.  I am so confused on anything to do with this. 

I have done a lot of research on the net and I am still confused. 

I have days where he is soooo good and then days that you just can't talk to him.  if he has been bad one day the next day he wakes up and don't remember what happened yesterday (does this make since) then some days he goes for days angry at the world. 

He verbally states that he hates his mother and wishes she was dead, then in the next breath he loves her.

I have gotten him into counseling and a medical doctor has prescribed medications for him but he almost never sleeps, constantly moving.  He has a hard time sitting and eating at the table with us as a family.  He wants to just have sandwiches and eat on the run all the time. 

Please don't get me wrong here he is a good boy but just has had a really bad home life for the first 15 years of his life.  Mother did not really raise him just let him go wild.

I am finding that I think that I need a support group to be able to just talk and get a grip on this before it really gets out of my control.  I have called several places in my area and there is no support groups started on this subject.  Can anyone help me help onfinding a support group on ADHD with Bi-Polar?

FORCE YOUR SCHOOL TO PAY FOR A NP EVALUATION. THIS ATTENTION ISSUSE CAN ALSO GO ALONG WITH ANOTHER DISORDER ALSO. TRY ADDING DAILY GOOD FATS ALSO. GET ALLERGIE TESTING. THE HEALTHIER THE DIET THE BETTER. SPD COULD ALSO BE PART OF THE PROBLEM IF SO ONLY OT CAN HELP WITH THAT NOT MEDACINES. oldtimer38909.315474537
