Suggest treatment for ADHD
Patient: Hello, we have a 14 year old son who doesn't seem to have a filter when it comes to his mouth (no cursing)just say things that normally you would mumble or keep to yourself when speaking to your parents (like y'all stupid..hate this place etc). He was diagnose with ADHD, but after reading information about this it seems that may not be the case. He was prescribed medication, but we are not wanting to take that route (afraid of side affects). My question is should we get a second opinion to see if something more is going on?    YYYY@YYYY Doctor: hithanks for using HCM.yes, you should get a second opinion regarding your child's behavior as why is doing in that way. He might be or not be suffering from ADHD that can only confirmed by evaluation of child by a psychiatrist and preferably a child psychiatrist. thanks
