[quote=Anonymous]Revisit meds. My DC’s irritability is almost always rooted in anxiety. DC lashes out at others, bad attitude, mean to siblings etc. ADHD means they can’t control their impulses well, and don’t control their emotions very well. DC usually wants to do well, so I know when things are a mess there is something underlying. About a year ago DC (in middle school) started having hours long meltdowns over small things I would ask them to do. Eventually I realized this coincided with when they had a bad day at school. We adjusted anxiety meds and put DC back in therapy. Meltdowns stopped. I feel like we repeat this cycle about every 2 years. Hopefully at some point they will stabilize with meds. [/quote]
