No restraint in what she says | ADHD Information
i agree with sammo. I think you should take this up with a counselor and/or the doc. I would actually recommend you send your child to a neuropsychologist. They will figure you exactly what is wrong first then help fix it.When my child's meds have worn off, he says a lot of very mean things. I definitely view it as an impulsivity issue.i think it points more to feelings of death rather than being mean or angry. Does her counselor know and the DR too? I think this is a meds issue.
glad you spoke up . deal with this professionally sooner than later!
even withouit meds adders sometimes have thin skin feelings , but if its going that far then call in the pros.
I'm 38 and everyone I come in contact with either tell me off eventually or buy steel toed boots. because I cant tip toe through tulips if you know what i MEAN
I sometimes need a counselor to help me identify my ps and qs with med changes.
I read something some where that some types of add are compared to pms irritability
i know thats totally not a clinically correct way to compare it to something. pms is stronger for some even a syndrome for others. i had two wives one never had a period and she was always pleasent to be with even when she was mad. the others destroys every relatiomship she comes in contact with for about 6 hrs in the middle of her pms . i hear the die word sometimes neither are ADD.
im guessing theres something to it pms type add and med changes.
remeber i didnt finish high school , im just giving an opinion. so ill find that message to be a little more clinically correct in other words
Limbic System Hyperactivity top The limbic system lies near the center of the brain. It is about the size of a walnut. This is the part of the brain that sets a person's emotional tone or how positive or negative you are. The limbic system also affects motivation and drive. It helps get you going in the morning and encourages you to move throughout the day. It controls the sleep and appetite cycles of the body. It affects the bonding mechanism that enables you to connect with other people on a social level; your ability to do this successfully in turn influences your moods.
Mood problems often occur when the limbic system of the brain is overactive. Clinical depression, manic-depressive disorder and severe PMS are more severe problems than the garden variety most people experience in the form of bad moods. For complete healing to take place, the addition of antidepressant medication or appropriate herbal treatment may be needed. A sure sign that the prescribed medications are really treating the depression is that the deep limbic system activity normalizes. Whenever limbic activity normalizes, there is a corresponding decrease in the patient's symptoms. Temporal Lobe System
In my clinical experience, temporal lobe symptoms are much more common in psychiatry than most people think. These include periods of panic or fear for no specific reason, periods of spaciness or confusion, dark thoughts (such as suicidal or homicidal thoughts), significant social withdrawal, frequent periods of deja vu, irritability, rages, and visual changes (such as frequently seeing shadows out of the corner of the eye). Temporal lobe dysfunction may be inherited or it may be caused by some sort of brain trauma.
Temporal lobe symptoms are often responsive to anti-seizure medication, such as Depakote, Neurontin or Tegretol. Temporal lobe symptoms are often made worse by serotonergic medications such as Prozac, Paxil, Zoloft, etc.
I just spoke with my mom and she informed me that this morning my dad announced that he was going for a walk and my daughter turned to him and said, "I hope you die."
Do others have a problem with their ADHD kids saying mean and/or inappropriate things like that??? Becky tends to say the first thing that pops into her head without thinking about it. Impulsive is what I would call it.
