Hi,New to this subject
I am a 33 year old mother of 3
My second child will be 4 soon
And as like most children very hyper,but he goes to extremes
The child is starting pre school in the fall,and he still does not know his abc's,count to 5,or know his full name,not lack of me trying I work with him constantly,it is because the child can not sit still,or want to listen,he gets very mean at times also,
Thats where I come in,I started to do some research on my own,my doctor does not seem concerned,and I ran across add,adhd,I have heard of it,but was unsure,See my son has all the symptoms I have had as long as I could remember,to this day,my daily life is a struggle,I was always treated with anti depressants,you name it I have been on it.None ever worked,I also have OCD,I have not been able to fall asleep at nights,even as a child,I was even hospitalized as a youg child and put on lithium,my marriage is strained,and now I see it in my Precious child,I do not know what to do or where to turn,
I truly beleive my father also has the same illness,any advice would be appreciated,I am sorry to go on,but I am kind of relieved to find out there might finally be a solution for me,also where do I go my primary dr.?What kind of testing do they do?thanks so much
