My 11 year old son began having major behavioral problems begining in 1st grade. It just gets worse as the years progress. He was diagnosed with benign rolandic epilepsy Friday after having an eptileptic seizure during a sleep study and an abnormal EEG. No telling how long these have been going on. He has his own room and I never even noticed. The doctor said these types of seizures children usually out grow and there is no need for medication. My issue is his behavior. From what I've read sometimes this can cause behavior and emotional problems. At times he gets in trouble in class for being disruptive, not respectful to teachers, and just being defiant. At home the same issues. Its a fight every morning and is totally defiant. He demands me to do whatever he wants. He even has been physical with me and his siblings. These are rare, but has happened. Lieing is a huge issue as well. After filling out a survey for the neurologist he told me he sees and hears things. He admitted to the doctor about hearing things, but said he does not see things that aren't real. I'm just torn because I can't tell if he is lieing to me and now oh my gosh I better tell them the truth or I realize I shouldn't really tell them what I'm seeing or hearing. I am turning in an application for him to get a mental health evalution which the neurologist agreed he needs to have one. I'm at a loss, really frustrated and just want him to get help. I have 3 other children and a husband and it just has been really difficult. I just don't know what to do. I feel like I"m on the road to some answers, but with him on no meds and not knowing what else to do, but the mental health eval I'm just looking for advice, help, and someone who can relate to my situation. We have seen two counselors over the years and they always say there is a presence of this or that, but not bad enough to treat. What! I don't want it to get to the point, duh! Thats why I was there!
