I work with a high functioning autistic teen. It is so sad that his own mother has given up and puts up with his out of control rants and raves. He is defiant, disrespectful and just downright mean. He believes it is his way or nothing else. All he does is sit in front of the tv or computer. I am not one to bow out gracefully and I think it is time he faced reality. Any help on tough love interventions. His mother is scared of his rage and that he will destroy the whole house. But he needs to be taught a lesson for his own good. I feel like he she should put her foot down and let him know what he needs to do or their will be serious consequences...how can we safely do this. There is a fear for his life and her own...HELP!!

My friend asked this. He speculated that it is just a natural side effect of personal needs not being met, and NOT a chemical imbalance? Is this why antidepressants don't really work in many people?

My son has had a mood disorder dx 4 yrs ago & in March he went to residential tx finally after a life time of hell at home, school & everywhere. He was suppossed to stay one year, but his dad took him out after 31/2 mos. He claims he has greatly improved. He did not give it a chance to work and my son just screamed & fought w/me for 11/2hr. then went outside and jumped all over the hood of the car we are trying to sell & hit it with a skateboard denting it from front to back. I can't get his dad or his family to agree there is a serious problem. He has been dx 4 times, but they wont agree with any Dr., school district, child protective services or anyone that tries to help. In his last regular school year, he went thru 5 schools in 1 yr cuz of his uncontrollable behavior. We finally had a yr or more of guaranteed peace and tx, but his father refused it. I don't know what to do anymore I feel like I am going to lose my mind. I have to cry and hide in my room to get away from him.

I have a toddler daughter and am pregnant with a little boy. My sister has 4 children, the eldest is 21 and the youngest is 9. My brother has 3 daughters, all of them under 8 years. Naturally it MAY be too early to see any definitive signs as yet.

I often worry that the disease may re-occur at some point with one of our children, as i heard that its occurence is genetic.

(I and my siblings seem to have escaped thank God!)

Ever since I was a little girl, I could never tell me left from my right. I went to Catholic school and always made sign of the cross with my left, and when someone tells me to turn left, I get confused and sometimes turn right.
Okay, I know that 19 is old to start driving, but I am just starting. I drove several times around my neighborhood and when came to intersection, my mother would say and I'd go right.
I have a tiny birthmark on my right, so I have to look at my hands when i am confronted with left/right. I have been tested for IQ three times, and no one ever said I had dyslexia. I don't see letters backwards or anything.
I'm scared because when I drive, I can't examine my hands each time i am told to go a certain direction.
Will this be a problem? Does it sound like a mild dyslexia or something else? Am I safe to drive (based on this problem)?

I was wondering if their is anyone out there who might be able to shed some light on my situation. Please don't be mean or judgemental. Basically, I "float" through life, I don't really feel much emotionally. The only things that make me "feel" are usually dangerous. Examples; "deviant" sexual behavior, excessive speed, for instance going 130 mph down a back road, basically doing anything I know I shouldn't do. I feel like I get a rush of blood that pumps through my heart and I feel like I take in a breath of life. I would never hurt anyone, I guess I just don't mind putting my life at risk, that is what gives me happiness. I have heard of adrenaline junkies but I feel that my problem goes deeper than that. I feel like life doesn't have enough to offer me unless I am pushing the limits. I know this is strange, but I almost get an "out of body" expierence when I get hurt, like most people would be in pain but I get a rush. What is wrong with me? Am I depressed, psychotic, bored???

I was put on 20mg. of Focalin XR this week for ADD. I take it at 8am along with Wellbutrin 150mg and Prozac 40mg. It seems to help some but NOT all day . . . maybe until about 4pm. Does drinking coffee have any negative effect??

We all do stupid things when we are young and sometimes remember these things later in life. I'm a straight guy and I'm actually engaged to be married in a year or two. Recently I remembered back to a time when I was around twelvish. I was playing with a fourish year old boy cousin. I can't remember all the details but I remember he was on top of me and was humping me or something, I put my hands on his but cheeks. All clothes were on, I never kissed him or anything, I didnt even touch his you know. I look at it in disgust now but am I wrong to resent myself for this? I mean I was young and I can't remember what I was thinking back then. I just feel so guilty and I like to think of it as a bad dream because I know I wouldn't do anything like that now.

My husband has awful panic attacks usually occuring in the middle of the night, he will just wake up and start moaning and pacing the floors and will go outside and walk the street like a crazy man. He refuses to go to the doctor and I don't know what to do for him. He freaks me out bad! What can I do to help him, it has been happening more and more often, almost daily now. The stress he is under is normal day to day stress and I'm at a loss, any suggestions??
