Eczema is a general term for rashes on the skin that doctors can not explain.  One persons case can be completly different from the rest.  People try to treat it externally but its an internal problem caused by a chemical or hormonal imbalance in your body which is usually caused by what you are putting in your body.  Once again I will say figure out what foods he is intolerant too most people are intollerant to something and everyone is intollerant to fast food, artifical colors, flavors and preservitives.  They are chemicals dont eat them.  \n\nThe best otc treatment for the rash calendula oil, collodial oatmeal, zinc oxide.  Do not touch the affected area with anything! Harsh soaps, hard water, plants, dogs ect...  YOu can treat the out side and have it a little better or you can treat the inside and make it go away forever.  Acupuncture works great too.

From what you are describing I'm not so sure this is something that you can 'cure'.  What you may be able to do is find ways to help your son with gaining social skills and improving sensory tolerances.  Your son may benefit from behavioral or cognitive therapy targeting social skill development and understanding.  He may need help with learning ways of coping with an overload of sensory input.  He may not be able to provide his own structure but may need to have his environment and routines structured for him.  \n\nA good place to start is by writing down a list or description of symptoms/behaviors/concerns that you feel need to be addressed.  Take a copy of this list to the school ask his teacher if any of these apply to your son in the school environment.  If they do then you can seek a school evaluation to find out what supports may be beneficial to your son in school.  School is not just about academics.  It is also supposed to be about learning how to get along in the world and being able to go on to college, tech school and work.  If you can't socialize or provide self structure then this is a problem.  Your pediatrician is also a good resource for directing you to additional sources of evaluation of his current needs and performance levels.  Once those are fully discerned then you can more appropriately target means of addressing his difficulties.

I would have him evaluated by a pediatric specialty team at your nearest children's hospital or rehab center. My daughter was dx'd with ADD/ADHD/PDD-NOS and then High-functioning Autism by her ped and later by state funded physical and occupational therapists through early intervention. She was medicated at the school's insistence for ADHD. When that made things worse instead of better, we had her evaluated at our local pediatric rehabilitation center and learned that she was actually a perfect match for the symptoms/actions of Aspergers Syndrome and early onset bi-polar disorder. The reason the meds made things worse was that with bi-polar, you can't give just the anti-depressant, you have to do a mood stabilizer as well, or the manic symptoms will intensify and often times go out of control. Hope you find the help you need to help your child

None, teh facility is privately funded allowing them to have your child removed from their faciility at their discretion.  Schoolds have stricter regualtions.  Talk to his provider about allowing him to do something quiet while the others nap or simply to lay down and be quiet.  Afterall you are paying them to deal with him for the day nto simply when he is behacing...it snto like hes biting chidlren.  he just doesnt wanna sleep.  Find a new care provider if necessary!  Most of them deal with kids who wont nap instead of calling mom to pick them up.  (They should credit you for the days you had to get your child too.)

Sorry, but it sounds like he has allergic reactions to these two food groups.  Only treatment is avoidance.  Given his severe symptoms, he should be motivated to do so!

You do not discuss the dual diagnosis that he has but I am assuming that you are discussing addictions with mental health issues.  Do you have insurance?  If so they typically require he goes to one of their referred treatment centers. If you do not have insurance I am not sure that you can afford it.  30,000 is pretty cheap considering.\nHere is the truth mental health hospitals have changed dramatically in the past fifty years.  They are always changing the regulations....and psychiatrists are often doing guess work....there is not clear cut solution to addictions or mental health issues.  You should contact social workers and psychiatrists in your area who know your son to get recommendations for placements.  One that I know of is:\n\nCharter beacon behavioral health hospital in fortwayne indiana : 1720 Beacon Street, Fort Wayne, IN 46805  (260) 423-3651 2200 Lake Avenue # 240, Fort Wayne, IN 46805 \nI had worked for them and they were decent several years ago.  Most places are not.  \n\nOne thing I will say is make sure that you understand the drugs that he gets placed on.  Make sure that you know the side effects and side effect warnings.  Try not to be all gung ho medicine....and try to understand that if he is an adolescent that adolescents should not diagnosed with permantent mental illnesses because of developmental changes. Try moving or finding a way to prevent him from hanging out with the same people.  Try getting him involved in sports or other healthy activities and be understanding with him.  Good luck

My son, who is age 16, didn't go as far as your friend did. He just recently got out of a special hospital here that deals with this type of situation. I honestly know how you feel, but mine goes deeper because it was my son. His depression started when he lost his best friend to suicide, and I've been helping him try to cope with this, it happened in March. Then, the next thing I knew, we went for a regular checkup at the doctor's office. And then I heard him say he tried to cut his hand off when he was at his dad's house, but a neighbor stopped him. That's when the doctor put him in the hospital. Now, he is on medication to deal with his depression. We both get counseling together with a therapist and separately we see different psychiatrists to help us both cope with everything. You don't say exactly how you caused him to flip out and get depressed again. But, I have learned that I wasn't the blame for my sons actions. I felt that it was my fault, that I had said the wrong thing to make him upset. He was depressed from not only his best friend committing suicide, he was getting pressure to do things from friends his age, alot of things was building up inside his mind that he couldn't cope with the world around him. Your friend may have already had problems built up inside that whatever you said may have just triggered past emotions. Not what you had said in that moment of time. You mentioned that everyone cuts ourselves, I'm sure that you meant that when we peel potatoes or apples, that sometimes we may cut our finger by accident. We don't purposely do it. The best advice I can give you is to stand by your friend because he needs all the support you can give him. I'm sure the doctors will give him medication to help his depression. It may take time for the meds to work, but you seem to like your friend very much. Even if you can go to a support group, which several places have free support groups to help cope with your friends depression and it may help you understand that it isn't your fault. Good Luck and if you need to talk to someone, you can get to my email by clicking my name. The email address is hidden.

Discuss the possibility of asperger's disorder with your doctor.  It is a milder form of autism.  Also, he needs to have his hearing checked and to make sure his tonsils are not enlarged.\n\nIf everything comes back fine, get him a Leap Pad toy that seems approprite for his age (there are many).  Sit with him and play and try to find something common between you.  Even if he does not talk to you, talk to him.\n\nHugs

He should switch you to a different anti depressant. This one is causing anti social behavior. If he won't listen, you need to change doctors.

Most all of us have negative thoughts at one time or another.  It is quite normal.  Some of us go to an extreme in either direction.  Thus, modern day science has created medicine to help us stay more at ease with our thoughts and emotions.\n\nMy advice is to seek professional advice!  There is nothing wrong with this!  It is widely accepted in todays society!\n\nIt is good for the both of you you that he is comfortable talking with you about his feelings.  It is (IMHO) also somewhat rare to have this communication in this day between parent and child!\n\nMe thinks a job well done thus far!  Continue on!\n\nThe Ol' Sasquatch Ü

My nephew was. I have a vitamin therapy recipe that works great. Contact me and I will give it to you. Also there are some calming and breathing exercises to help you learn to take control of your life. He did and he's doing wonderful now. There are a number of others that are on it now too. In fact the school gives the parents my contact information so that I can explain the therapy to them.

What you can do to help him is be a friend. Let him know he can talk to you and listen to him if he decides to tell you his feelings. \n\nI don't think the ADHD is causing the problem as much as the grief over losing his father.14 is an age that is very hard to lose a parent. He may not feel normal for a whole year. \n\nHe needs to discuss this with his doctor. His doctor will tell him if he needs to visit with a therapist or if he needs medicine to help with sleep or with his bad feelings.\n\nSince he's a guy, he may not have told his mother yet. She can help him figure out what to do, but if she doesn't know, here's what you do. \n\nWait until all three of you are in the same room and all discussing something together and turn to your friend and ask him in front of her, while she's listening if he is still having trouble sleeping at night. She will find out. He won't have to talk about it and you won't be in trouble for telling her behind his back. He might be irritated with you at the moment, but the important thing is his mom finds out so she can help him.

I'm sure you've gotten plenty of help on this one but has any one suggested that he get a physical, maybe he is suffering from depression, or blood pressure problems, or sugar problems, I know with me if my sugar goes up I can be easily irritated and become angry in a flash, my blood pressure will also shoot up at that time, I'm not trying to defend him , only looking at it openly!

Yes I know about it because the person is me.It used to be that I would wash my hands so much, that the skin would crack . And forget about picking up anything that was even remotely gross or dirty, I'd freak out and run to the sink and scrub for minutes at a time. I was driving my Husband crazy, and myself . So I got help. I went to a therapist and he put me on medication to ease the symptoms, and I see him to get a handle on this sometimes debilitating condition . The med. that worked for me was Prozac , which will also help with panic disorder. Get your Boy into the therapist as soon as possible .I'm sorry to say that it is unlikely that He will grow out of it . These things only get worse over time.Good luck, hope it all works out for You and your Son.
