Help! Out Of My Mind

by Lauren
(Greensburg, PA)

I came to this website and learned a lot of helpful hints and information to help me with my 7 year old.

This morning she grabbed her sister's hand and would not let go, she could have broke her fingers that is how hard she was grabbing her hand. My daughter has been diagnosed with ADHD, OCD and Obediant Defiant Disorder.

We have her on 20 mg of Adderall and nothing seems to be helping. She gets angry and starts to throw things, she hits people and tells everyone what to do. She tells myself and her father that she hates us and she is going to run away.

We are at our wit's end.

Does anyone have any ideas as to what we should be doing next? We can't continue to live like this. Please help.

Response from Dr. DeFoore

Hello Lauren. Thanks for coming back here for help. I'm sorry you and your family are having so much trouble.

I highly recommend that you and your husband try the Total Transformation Program for kids with Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), and/or the Total Focus Program for children with ADHD. These programs are specifically designed to help parents just like you, and both have free offers available.

These programs will give you much more help than I could ever offer you, Lauren.

If you have not already done so, please also read my responses to parents in these stories.

Believe in yourself, your husband and your daughter, Lauren. Take some time and picture things working out in a positive way in your mind. This will help you to be more calm, which is very important in dealing with your children.

My very best to you,

Dr. DeFoore
