So my daughter was born early. And she weighed the same as a bag of sugar.

I don’t know what’s going on with her. She’s just a ball of nervous energy all the time. She doesn’t stop talking. She talks very loudly (we’ve had her hearing checked etc). She cannot sit still. Not even to eat. She doesn’t sleep well. She’s on the move all the time. She argues all the time. She’s so anxious all the time. She doesn’t really eat. It’s all getting really out of hand. She gets really frustrated when she can’t do her work. She's got really bad this year. Before it wasn’t too bad. She has such bad mood swings. She cannot wait her turn. She interrupts constantly. She can’t seem to stay in one subject if she can’t do it straight away. She’s so frightened of everything.

I’m at my wits end. We’ve got her a private consultation but is there anyone who can help me? We’ve got no one for generations who have had depression or anxiety. We’re all pretty easy going. None of us have anxieties. I don’t know what’s happening really.

How old is she?
She sounds a lot my lovely 3 year old. He can not sit still, wants to be in constant motion. Struggles with food, eats a limited range in a particular way. Is very loud, he has language deal so lots of screaming and squealing but would be constant chatter if he could. He needs to be squashed to sleep, we've seen sleep improve with a sensory compression sheet and tight fitting sensory pj's. Really scared of some things, more than a normal 3 year old reaction. We have a genetics diagnosis for him and currently exploring sensory processing issues.

They thought she had a pituitary problem at birth. That she gave something called RSS.

She’s got central sleep apnoea. From being born so early.

She is a lot. Does medication for adhd work? What does it do?
