Her Son Has ADHD And is Out of Control

School nurses administer more daily medication for ADHD than any other chronic health condition. In December 2022, the Drug Enforcement Agency warned that over prescription of ADHD medication could be as bad as the opioid crisis. Is medicating children for ADHD a troubling trend or an appropriate response? Megan says her 7-year-old son has always been a handful, and when she finally made an appointment to discuss this with his physician last summer, the recommendation was medication. Hear why she says she’s worried and blames herself for his behavior. Then, Cassie and Carl say their 3-year-old twin boys were acting so wildly during an evaluation that their doctor said she hadn’t seen a case of ADHD so bad in a long time. Now that the boys are medicated, what does Cassie say is her biggest worry? And, Dr. Daniel Amen, founder of the Amen Clinics and New York Times best-selling author, and psychiatrist Charles Sophy weigh in on whether kids are overdiagnosed and overmedicated for ADD and ADHD. Plus, the best way to diagnose a child with ADHD. (21098)

Both of my kids have ADHD and one also has ODD. It can be very overwhelming. Even though it can be hectic. These kids are very intelligent.

I'm a mom of a 4 yr old with SEVERE ADHD, and He has ODD and Severe Hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy..he was born deceased, and brought back which a caused a brain injury and his ADHD and ODD. My son's case is one of the worse cases his Drs have seen. He has a 2 to 3 second attention span. He can't even make eye contact because he can't stop moving ( not from Autism, they don't think he's Autistic because he doesn't have the symptoms). But when you have severe ADHD, you can't calm to focus. if you can't focus, you can't learn..

As a child with ADHD, I remember being a handful as a kid. I had anger problems, I also got really sad and cried a lot. I refused to do my homework, and when I got bored I would break rules impulsively.

I had to give my daughter her ADHD medicine too and I didn't like it either but that's part of being a parent

My youngest daughter is ADHD, ODD, high functioning autistic, and has severe PTSD. At least I know she’s not problematic or “bad.” My “mom” refused to accept my diagnosis by 8-10 different doctors of ADHD so I was never treated for it. I was diagnosed at 8. I was diagnosed with ODD at 15. I was diagnosed with PTSD at 12. She insisted I was bipolar and she refused to get me help for my actual illnesses and refused every ounce of help for my illnesses. She tried to assault anyone who disagreed I was bipolar. She really thought she was a doctor, but I’m positive you can’t be a doctor without college education 😂😂😂😂😂 thanks to her no doctors listen to me or accept my diagnoses now

0:58 I hate doctor Phil he is a anti hero who acts like a hero but really isn’t

[mickymicky]

My son has adhd n odd he is the same way

[diamonument]

What a positive and delightful boy. He is being playful and asking her to stop filming him which she is not respecting at all. Hardly the crisis she is making it out to be. This woman has 14 pets. 10 cats and 4 dogs. Maybe if she had less pets she would have more energy to play with and look after her son instead of getting annoyed at him for being energetic. Honestly it's hard to take this lady seirously.

[IreZico]

I would get rid of the kid and keep the animals tbh

[roserouge]

Because they're not Jazz musicians and Village's Business need more money.. Again....First....The End

[katimay]

I feel like he wants to put a show on for his mom and everyone else because she probably often talks about it to others around him.

[Outfires]

Honestly, I think most of this stems from not having a male father figure to maybe not even keep him in line but kinda show him the ropes.
