How does a parent who is depressed and defiant deal with there child who has adhd and who is defiant also?
This parent should seek out help from the local mental health clinic/team, and possibly try to get a social worker involved to help the family out. If the child is hard to manage and cope with at times, a psychiatrist may be available to interview the child and possibly put him/her on a medication or a treatment plan. Remember not to make any rash decisions before talking to a specialist in mental/social health. The parent is luckier to have a child with ADHD rather than Bipolar disorder, autism, or depression, because ADHD is very treatable and manageable with the right help.
