Is your son on medication? Adjustments in his ADHD medications may affect his behavior? Discuss some options with his doctor -- maybe an adjustment in dosage or a different medication might help.

Also, have you read much about oppositional defiant behavior?

Sounds like you've got your hands full. I hope this information helps. Dena

I have a 12 year old son who has ADHD and has also been diagnosed with depression on top of that. His father and I separated about a year ago and I am having major issues with him. I read the article about ADHD and lying and that is so my son. I am having major behavioral issues with him also. I am at my wits end and don't know what to do. He has had issues with the police a few times and I told him if he keeps it up they will take him away and put him in a home. He told me to go ahead. I know he doesn't mean it but like I said, I don't know what to do anymore. I was even looking into a "scared straight" program if there is anything really like that out there. Can someone give me some advise on this. Has anyone else experienced this behaviour etc. with their child?????
