Guest guest Posted September 3, 2001 Report Share Posted September 3, 2001 Hi, Just want to say this group of very nice people have been overwhelmingly helpful. All suggestions have been forwarded on. I think the depression idea might be right on. The child does seem depressed because the father says nasty things about the mother, but the mother never says anything in retaliation because she knows it will only hurt her child. The child knows the father lies about some things already and doesn't keep his word to the child, so yes, it very well could be depression on top of other things. My opinion is, some people just aren't fit to be parents! Thank you, Jean Baugh ************************* Can I suggest they look into various forms of depression instead of ADD/ADHD? I have to say, your description fits my husband! He had been mis-diagnosed as ADD for years! Turns out he is bi-polar and they have alot of similar symptoms, on the surface... For my husband he takes a good B-complex and also a good hebal blend which includes many vitamins as well as St John's Wort , valerian, and kava kava...

He has mood swings andyou can see his face darken when it hits him. When it hits, it like Dr.Jekyl and Mr. Hyde. The child is just plain mean and 30 minutes later, heis as sweet as only a child can be. This goes on over and over again,through the day. Age 9 and very bright.I will suggest the gymnema sylvestre to the mother, as something to try,that won't hurt anything. If it helps him, then it surely will be plain itis a blood sugar problem.If not, she could check out possible allergies to foods.I find it odd how so many children are diagnosed as having ADHD. I would beinterested in any information on studies on this problem. For instance, dochildren who have a vegetarian, or strictly wholesome diet, have thisdisorder?Thank you,Jean Baugh*******************> That herb could get his blood sugar under control, if that is an issue;other herbs can help the hyperactivity!>> Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
