What can I do about Mental Health?!


Question: What can I do about Mental Health!?
I have two special needs children, one has ADHD, and the other has PDD-NOS {Ausitm} They are both suffering from delays, low self esteem and a few other issues!. I called Mental health hoping that they would be able to tell me how to help my children, specifically my daughter!. I had a meeting on MOnday and they took every single thing I have ever said to them over the past 18 months, and turned it around to make me seem like I'm completely off my rocker!. And as a result they are more focused on me!. They claim that don't want to put more stress on me than I already have!. I don't know what to do, I feel I do need someone to sort of stick up for me, because I am not off my rocker {ok maybe I'm a bit nuts, but the fact is everyone is these days}
I am a single mother and yes things are tuff!. But I want to help my daughter and they refuse to let me!. What should I do!? How do I find someone to protect me!? Who can teach me how to help my child!? I've called my family doc and made an appointment to try to get a referral for a well known and highly respected ADHD doctor!. If that works I'll be asking her for help!. But other than that what do I do!? I'm trying to get back on my feet but these people are determined to prove themselves right!. I feel like I'm outnumbered and alone!. Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
OK i'll help you out i was and still am AD-HD but i have learned to deal with the bursts of energy and distractions!. Try and help him/her with it because its hard and being placed on medicine and then you feel like there is something wrong and also a sidafect of the riddlin or what they have him/her on causes depression as well!.So what I found helped me and i have a weird thing ill bounce my leg and it causes me to stay more Focus on the topic at hand with out medication!.

Now the Ausitm problem, they will want to try and point at you that you are the fault they feel that way!. When its a number of things its the medication they way they are treated different then the rest of the world like they are something wrong when all they really want to be is a happy healthy child!. One of my best friends was mentally impaired and when i was in the 12th grade his mental compositely was they of a 7th grader!. But he felt no different then the rest of us because his mom treated him all the same as every one else (or tried to as much as possible) I helped him as well i was a friend to him that didn't care about his mentally disability!. They want to use you as the excape goat hun and really your an easy target because you are a single mom sad fact but true!. If you want some one to help you, you need to try and get the nerve and tell they its not your fault, you are not wrong are you a mother doing the best you can!. There is not a single man or woman that doesn't if they really care about there childern that doesn't think of them first!. If you want some one to go there with you ask a friend or a neighbor to come with you to give you that moral fiber, i would even go with you if you where in the area!. Your childern are not broken or defects they are childern that require a little more attention but allot more under standing doctors and parents!. You are doing a great job don't doubt your self because some docs say its your fault, We as docs don't know anything past what they experance in the hospitle, you have to judge your self at the house!. Are you always thinking of them first (yes we can see it the way you type) Do you care for them feed and cloth them (we all hops so and know you do or they wouldn't be with you right now)!. So i have no doubt your doing a great job, you shouldn't either!. Sorry it was a bit blunt but its honestWww@Answer-Health@Com
