DEPRESSION IN CHILD WITH ADHD
Tags: helping child with adhd, children living with
adhd
Children with ADHD are three times more prone to depression and
depression related
disorders. ADHD children have very sound reasons to fall in
depression.
Inability to complete tasks, inability to read and write properly,
frequent bad results in school,
might need to repeat few classes, watching other students and siblings
excel in their fields, teachers, neighbors and family members constantly
complaining.
Aren’t these reasons enough for a young bud to wither?
When a child finds himself unable to be a good boy at home or a
good student at school, he starts to blame himself.
Though it has nothing to do with him and his intentions. It’s
a developmental neurological disorder, and he can’t help it
until proper care is given to him.
Medications, ADHD
therapies and attention off course can make him come out of
his shell. Any ADHD child can be pushed towards depression.
The first most step is that they become anti social. Parents and
teachers who are unaware of the fact that a child is suffering
from ADHD, might feel relieved if the hyperactive kid locks
himself in his room.
They wanted this for so long…. They wanted that battery to
be out somehow that drove him crazy all the day. But this is not
it!!!! He is getting into depression and that’s an alarming
situation. At times, it could be hard parenting
a ADHD child.
A child with ADHD in depression might show some signs
that are particularly alarming and helps diagnosing in the depression.
The causes for this depression are basically ADHD’s symptoms.
Here are the symtoms
and diagnostic checklist:
• Development of Phobias
• Getting disturbed sleep and often having bad dreams
• Disconnection Anxiety
• Disruptive Behavior in home and school
• Aggressiveness
• Extreme irritability
• Insomnia or too much sleep
• Feeling Sad and gloomy all the day
• Tearful
• Cries on small things
• Lack of interest in family activities
• Lethargic and lazy
• Low tolerance for frustration
• Negative comments about themselves
• Self-Destructive
• Destructive toward toys/playthings
• Looking serious or sick
• Lack of spontaneity
• Less apatite
• Weight loss
• Getting quarrelsome
• Stops talking
• Get’s anti social
• Has no friends
• Doesn’t participate in anything/sports
• Do not interfere in other’s conversations as did previously
• Feels neglected and have complaints about people
Parents who are unaware that their child has ADHD might feel relieved
when his depressive phase starts. They might take him as normal.
Once a mother told me that now his son is fine, he has stopped
irritating us, but his results are getting worse. And I felt sorry
for the ignorant lady and the poor child. But it is never late.
We started the treatment
and soon he was “actually normal”. Understanding a child
is very important. Conversations play the most important role. Don’t
neglect your child no matter how busy you are. You might as well
give a proper ADHD
medication and treatment for your child the soonest.
