How Can ADHD And Agressive Behaviour In A Child Be Treated?

Hello, my son is acting up a lot and has become aggressive, to the point where I can no longer take care of his attitude and have given it all to my husband / his father. He s thus gotten worse and even though he has ADHD and is currently on medicine for it, it doesn t seem to be helping at all any more. We are going to ask his pediatrician about it asap but I m at my whittts end tonight. Any advice, this kid has become evil.

Hello,

It may not be easy to treat ADHD in kids and teenagers. If ADHD remains incompletely treated, it does a toll on child's self esteem also & too many times, in a desire to get noticed, get some appreciation, child engages into undesirable behaviors which are at present your main concern.

There are medications which can be used and inlcude methylphenidate or atomoxetine. As a part of parent teacher management, we can engage into token economy, contingency management, role plays, time out etc. which are taught by Psychologist to both the parents & teachers in school. Hence, do contact your Psychologist for PTMT.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
