What Causes Angry Behavior For Adhd Child?

Hi! I have a 10 year old son who has ADHD, along with anger problems. I am to the point now where I dont know what to do anymore. Not sure if the medication isnt working or if its hormones. He is always angry at me or his sisters. Yells alot. Cussing, name calling, bullying, hitting, and so much more. It is getting really bad. I am a single mom and he dad isnt in the picture at all. Is there any help anyone can give me please! Thanks!

Hi, thanks for asking.
I can understand your concerns.
In my opinion your son will benefit with psychological counselling for anger management by a child psychologist. It will help him to learn that getting angry is al-right but anger should be expressed in such a way that it doe not hurt himself others or damage property.
If his anger is still not controlled then medications like risperidone may be tried.
I hope I have helped you.
Thank you.
