MY QUESTION IS THIS;
MY SON WAS DIAGNOSED AT AGED 4 AS HAVING ADHD AND ODD, WE TRIED DRUGS FOR HIM BUT HE HAD BAD NIGHTMARES AND THEY WERENT HELPING SO WE STOPPED THOSE AND HAVE SINCE BEEN WITH OUT ANY DRUG THERAPY FOR HIM.
HE IS NOW NEARLY 7YRS OLD WE HAVE RECENTLY STARTED HIM ON A NUTRACUTICAL PRODUCT CALLED ATTEND AND WE SEEM TO BE NOTICING A WORSENING IN HIS DEFIANCE AND GENERAL EXCESSIVE TALKING /INABILITY TO CONSENTRATE.
COULD THIS BE AN INDICATION THAT HE HAS BEEN MISDIAGNOSED??
I WOULD WELCOME ANY ADVICE
THANK YOU
TRACEY
Read our article about natural medicine treatment of ADHD.
The observation that natural medicine worsens his symptoms must not be a reason to question his diagnosis. Another explanation could be that this natural medicine is not good for him.
Discuss this with a psychiatrist with experience in diagnosing and treating ADHD. If you do not trust the first psychiatrist, see another one.
