Disorders

They are normal, and there is nothing wrong with Bipolar Disorder treatment for teens your child, other than the need for them to get their disorder under control and start living a healthy life again. A teen with bipolar disorder is often put on heavy medications that will put them in a zombie like state. While some medication is beneficial, the doctors will continue to increase the amount of medicine when your child is still showing symptoms. An increase in medication is not the answer.

In working with families that have adopted children, I have found that parents are in the best position to explain the true nature of an adopted child’s behavior. Parents typically experience signs that their child isn’t developing healthy bonds within the family and also in their peers. It’s also more prevalent for the struggling teens with Reactive attachment disorder to display their symptoms more intensely with their mother that their father. Here you will find some general symptoms that a parent have shared with me when seeking help for their daughter who is struggling to maintain healthy boundaries, demands to be the center of attention and negatively seeks that attention and is very deceptive in their interactions.

Parents often say, “My RAD child has difficulty in giving and receiving love”. Many parents struggle with the question, “Does my child love me?” Even though the struggling teen may have been a member of the family for several years, parents often are uncertain of their child’s genuine, loving feelings for them. • At most levels of severity, reactive attachment disorder children will have difficulty accepting or seeking out physical affection and touch. If you touch a child with RAD, often he will recoil or flinch and say, “Ouch,” even though your touch is gentle and should produce no pain. 

Typically, all parents express their struggling teen has control issues. The key question is, “How extreme or intense is their need to beStruggling teen with reactive attachment disorder

in control?” They are oppositional, argumentative, disobedient or often defiant. They are exceedingly strong-willed and will go to great extremes to be in charge. Their need to control comes from their intense fear that further harm will occur if they are once again as helpless as they were as babies. • Another common description is they have problems with anger. Many will express their anger overtly, having frequent temper tantrums and a short frustration tolerance. A smaller percentage of children will be passive-aggressive and engage in annoying, frustrating, and aggravating behavior. 

Parents describe their child as being devoid of a conscience. In some of the severe cases we’ve seen, it’s as if their conscience is entirely absent. They lack or express the lack of remorse, regret, or guilt when they violate their parents’ or other people’s rights. • The one common expression with every parent that has a child with RAD states that their child has trust issues. They do not trust their parents and the parents cannot trust their children. The severity of trust issues is directly related to the severity of the RAD condition.

We specialize in working with teen girls, ages 12 to 17 that have been diagnosed or even those suspected of suffering from RAD. Part of the therapeutic process in working with these teens is to increase the responsiveness and sensitivity of the caregiver. They maintain a structured and consistent schedule which provides a sense of stability in their daily schedule. Their communication with peers and staff is monitored and the ability to positively challenge negative behaviors is more conducive in this environment. As they become more aware of their responses and reactions to others, they are able to begin forming healthy bonds with their peers.
