Okay, so I'm a littleLittle noses decongestant Little tummys freaked out and extremely concerned. What is going on with my son? He takes 36mg of Concerta on school days for ADD (not hyperactivity--just can't stay focused). The nurse at my pediatrician's office assured me that hearing voices is not a side affect of Concerta. He was diagnosed with a "processing" disorder years ago and went to speech therapy for it. I'm hoping these "voices" are related to that and not some psychiatric problem. Any ideas about what might be going on?
i've don't really know what could be happening. it could all be related to his past health history.
but the best thing i could do if i were you and that was my child, was to show him lots of support. Show him not to be scared and you stay calm as well. if he says he hears voices then believe him. he maybe worried that someone's going to think he's "crazy", let him know he's not the only one that has gone through this situation and it will take some time to find the answer. and try talking to him to ease his mind. try to positive for his sake. it must be a scary situation for all of you.
Some type of mental disorder runs in my family. i was told it skips a generation. and my grandmother has it. i don't know the name or if anyone has given it a name, but she has to take medication for it. she used to see stuff that wasn't there and hear stuff etc. i was told she was always somewhat "off", but it got worse with age. She was a loving and caring person and led a normal life up until my grandparents got a divorce. i was younger then and don't know the whole story, but now she's in a nursing home and has to take meds everyday. i guess she sorta "lost it" after my grandpa and her divorce and she went down hill from there. but when she saw or heard things she trully did. and she trully believed it.
My sister is a councilor and has been for years...she helps me alot with my four...my ten year old had some issues like this a while back and they actually were related to having alot of anxiety.....she worried so much about her dad (we seperated 5 years ago) that she couldnt concentrate on other things and then she started seeing shadows and hearing voices......So before all else ask what is on thier mind and see if they are feeling worried or scared about just anything! It may do good! Or it could be something else I am not an expert...just a helping voice!
