This year, my younger brother was diagnosed with ADHD. In the ensuing months, my family has been put to the test. My brother's behavior has become more and more radical and unpredictable, and my parents are having a difficult time processing all of this. My sister and I do not have ADHD. I am the "perfect student" of the family and my sister is the "superstar athlete," so ADHD is a terrible burden to my brother, who, has always struggled for some type of positive recognition. I have extensivly researched the effects of ADHD on siblings and I have began to watch over my sister who has been very upset but looked over because my brother's behavior is the focal point of my parent's attention. As a student, I have many friends who have ADHD and some of them have had alot of success in combating their disease. I am not sure how, or even if I should, should approach my parents because I do have some insite from friends with ADHD who I have talked with and I want to make sure my sister is okay.How old is your brother? |
