My DD is 7 and over the last couple of months has started having huge rages, shouting at me saying how much she hates me, that I am mean etc. When she calms down she says she can't control herself and it is her brain doing it. It is like a switch she wonderful 1 minute helpful, kind etc then amazingly horrible the next without any provocation. She has also started going to sleep late usually about 9.30pm even though she is put to bed at 8 then wakes up about 7.30 she says she can't switch of her brain. Also she has been diagnosed with dyslexia, but this is something she has obviously had for ages , the only new thing about that is she has been diagnosed. Also things clothes socks, etc don't feel right itchy etc (i don't know if this is me pampering to her) she has 2 younger sisters that are happy little girls who seem not to have any of these issues.
I don't know what to do, whether to take her to a doctor although I don't want her to take medication unless it is really needed. Please help!!
