[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This sounds like my 8 year old who was diagnosed with adhd. Emotional dysregulation is a core part of adhd, which I didn’t really know until we went down the path of trying to figure out what was going on. We did OT for a while, and then started meds because the emotional reactiveness was impacting friendships at school and causing my child to feel bad about themselves. They knew their behavior wasn’t in line with others and kept saying “I’m always the bad kid.” The meds made a world of difference. They enabled my child to use the tools they learned to regulate their emotions. I suggest starting with a formal diagnosis and figure out options from there. [/quote] +1 6 year old with adhd. Meds have been the only thing that significantly helped. I would seek a formal diagnosis though my son did have the symptoms across environments (school too) [/quote]
