Find some good references to show them that explain the symptoms of it and explain to them what of those you feel. Ask them to make you an appointment with a psychologist (not a psychiatrist first!!!) for a second opinion. If they still don't believe you, talk to your school counselor, nurse, or school psychologist or social worker if your school has one.

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.

Why has the use of medication to treat children with ADHD created controversy?
The controversy surrounds the most common group of drugs used to treat ADHD, psychostimulants. Psychostimulants can be addictive and abused, and some groups have feared the unknown side effects they may have. However, most medical research has shown that treating a person who has ADHD with stimulants lowers their risk of drug abuse. There is also controversy of the legimitacy of ADHD diagnoses. Some believe it is over-diagnosed while others believe that doctors are just more informed and able to recognize it.
