hi just wondered if anyone can help at my wits end with my 8yr old for the past year hes been totallt losing it anger off the scale before this he was a lovely wee boy were on the waiting list to see someone to help he also cant sit at peace interuppts conversations all the time when hes angry says he wants to die causes alot of fights with friends tonight he was fighting and then we heard him swearing at top of his vioce which i didnt know he did im mortified !! when he calms down hes alwayd remorseful its heartbreaking to watch this inner battle he has with his own head me and his dad have never experienced anythin like this with our older child so its blind leading the blind can anyone tell me things that have maybe helped them hes not a bad wee boy .

My son has ADHD. It maybe that your son has it or it maybe something else going on. Have school mentioned any concerns? When my son got his diagnosis both school and myself had to fill in questionnaires about his behaviour at school and at home. It’s a point system and looked overall at his behaviour. My son has a very short attention span and has little impulse control at times, shouting out and interrupting. Physical exercise helps to keep him a bit calmer and burn energy off. There is a lot of advice online which may help too. Good luck, I know how stressful it can be.

he has no concerns at school they say he behaves well but maybe hes keeping all his frustrations until school is over hes out everyday with friends but most days end in fights have tried cutting out gluten etc sulphur supplements

If he's fine at school but having meltdowns at home that sounds more like masking of asd than adhd.
I would suggest having a read up on autism, it doesn't mean that he doesn't have ADHD as you can have both at the same time (like my ds)
