Hi. I am new here but have been reading without posting for a few weeks. My 7 year old son has TS, OCD, ADHD, tics. The neuro told us to go to family counseling to try to control his behavior and so we can learn how to deal with his depression and overall crappy behavior. It seems like whenever I'm around he acts like total $***, especially when people come to visit or he's with other kids. I keep telling myself he's still a 7 year old boy, disorders or not, but it's very hard to try not to explode when every other word is 'whatever' and will argue for a very lond time about anything before giving in and just getting it over with. The neuro gave us clonodine (sp?) to get him to sleep at night because he has stayed up literally ALL NIGHT arguing about having the TV on, sleeping in my room, OCD includes me fixing his covers EVERY TIME HE MOVES and they are not totally flat. (I tuck them into the mattress now ) So if anyone can help with which type of family therapy we need, please lemme know. Psychologis, psychiatrist, behavior therapy, etc. Thanx!
