im adhd with rage disorder

if they use the wrong drugs it magnifies the disorder and can increase the rage

also diet no not the hippie or all those goofy diets but simple changes

i drink distilled water/ add adhd is a chemical imbalance in the brain the more chemicals you add to the mix the worse it is

diet caffeine free pop is what i drink only once a week or so

same with my tea

only homemade made from scratch food pre made hamburger helper processed foods

that made a good difference in the way i feel

cut sugars sweets and make sure 3 meals a day if your hungry you get grouchy less ability to focus lots of problems

3 meals even if just a sandwich changes how my day goes

and i recommend a shrink not gp doctor

a shrink is trained more than a regular overworked doctor

my shrink found bipolar with bad rage anger problems

6 years ago today meds and a counselor

my parents who never say much positive

mom said one day im proud of you there's such a difference i crapped myself

never heard anything like that my whole life

sorry long post

im 40 now so ask me the forum feel free to message me i love trying to help kids not go through what i did

best wishes good luck
