Everyday Battle: Struggle with Behavior
In the first four years, my son exhibited some behavioral problems that were very difficult to handle, especially when in public. He refused to wear long clothes, seating in certain strollers or shopping cart, and had sleeping problems. In addition, he experienced a lot of tantrums, throwing himself on the ground, stiff his body and making it almost impossible to pick up. Sometimes it was even a matter of safety when it happened in parking lots or when crossing the street.
My son also exhibited an aggressive or a very physical way to approach his peers, and sometimes even hurt them, or make them feel uncomfortable. Even though he was very interested to be in touch with his peers, he did not know how

    As alluded to in her book, A Disease Called Childhood, in chapter seven, entitled “Let Food be Thy Medicine”, Marilyn Wedge claims that though there are some legitimate diagnoses of ADHD that are in need of attention and possibly medication, a child’s diet may be a sizable factor of their behavior. Wedge cites John E. Huxsahl from Mayo Clinic, using his article on processed foods to help her claim that food consumption can have a relation to ADHD. I agree with Wedge’s argument on multiple occasions that I will refer to throughout this essay; including personal experiences, experiments, and how other countries tackle additives in food. When my brother, Konnor, was younger, he was diagnosed with multiple behavioral disorders due to his inability…

    In 1952 antisocial personality disorder, abbreviated ASPD, was classified in the first addition of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorder (DSM) as a sociopathic personality disturbance and that it could merely be considered ‘moral insanity’(Hesse, M. 2010). It wasn’t until the second addition of the DSM came out that it was categorized as it own personality disorder that was to be classified, when being diagnosed, as mild, moderate or severe, but many psychologists didn't accept it at first.
