[b]Yes, it is ADHD[/b]. Whenever I post this people can't stand it, but it is.

My husband has been diagnosed with ADHD, after our son was diagnosed, but refuses to take his meds, because he feels "quite all right without them". When literally his life is is shambles because of it (he's been let go multiple times for failing to be productive and follow directions at work, he has no friends, he forgets his keys or wallet every day and has to go back for them, etc).

It makes sense that your husband would have ADHD as well. Medication is generally well-tolerated and efficient... if he agrees to take them every day. They have made a huge difference to our son's quality of life.[/quote]

While OP's DH may have ADHD and could have problems regulating his emotions, there is absolutely no excuse for his behavior.  It is irrelevant.  Unless OP's DH recognizes his behavior is unaccepable AND wants to change it, it doesn't matter whether he's got ADHD or not.

And, FWIW, my DH has ADHD as do 2 of my DSs.  None of them behave like OP's DH.   My bipolar father did, though........[/quote]

Sigh. Why can't people understand mental health?

If you can turn this angry person into a non-angry person with medication, and given that this person is married with children, isn't this important enough to consider?

And ADHD presents differently in different people, for goodness sake's.
My FIL was bipolar, and my husband has ADHD, as does my son. The first two have anger issues, my son does not. 
Treat the person before you, not the patients you've seen before.

We SERIOUSLY need more education about mental health![/quote]
