[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi Op, what you describe does definitely have similarities to my son with ADHD. Medication helped him the most of anything, by far. ADHD is a disorder of regulation, this can include regulation of emotion. What do you mean he is disciplined after saying he wants to die? I'm thinking (hoping) you meant the opposite, maybe I read that wrong.

Glad you are getting support as parents. Also recommend Dr. Shapiro and his course. I haven't done the support groups but some people like them a lot https://www.parentchildjourney.com/
As much parent training/coaching as you can get will help. You will have to discipline him differently.

But really, I would put MOST of my energy on getting a diagnosis. with the mentions of harming himself I would probably personally get a full neuropsych. But it is pretty much impossible to do that quickly without paying a hefty price. But it is probably worth it if you can find a way to swing it. You need a correct diagnosis so you can get on the correct medication and the right supportive therapy.

Good luck, it is so hard, I hear you.[/quote]

This helps so much and thank you.  And sorry, I wrote that wrong. He is NOT disciplined for saying that.  He says that after he’s disciplined. Thanks for catching that. [/quote]
