Hi Dr Sharma . I am in dire need of help for my son who has non verbal autism /global developmental delay / ADHD / and recent genetic testing shows possible Mitochondrial Dysfunction. The biggest problem we have is his behaviors. He has behaviors as if he has ODD. He is low functioning. Refuses to do anything he doesn’t want to. Now he is so big and aggressive in school. I have said he has ODD since he was very young like 2 years old. We have done 11 years of ABA with only some success.
My son was recently diagnosed with ODD and ADHD. I am interested in trying to treat these with a Homeopathic approach. I’ve read Cina, Nox Vomica and Chamomilla are the top medicine to take for ODD and ADHD.
Are all 3 to be taken together or do I just try one? How do I know how much to give my son? He’s 13 weighs 130lbs.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
Sir I am Prashant Bansod from Nagpur I am observing very symptoms of ODD in my son
Dr Sharma and Dr Kaur,
For God’s sake… I am tired of giving my son drugs that psychiatrist provide and treat as an experiment on my son. We are at the end of our ropes. My son has ADHD, ODD, and is borderline intellectually disabled. The school has had it with him, the tension in the home rises, the insults pierce our ears. I can not find a good reputable homeopath. I am begging for an answer that is not a scam. Nicholas is 14 at the level of a 10 year old. Please help!
Kindly mail me.
Hello,
My son is 4 and a half and fits all of the characteristics for ODD, although has not been diagnosed. Our biggest concerns are temper, irritability, deliberately annoying and spiteful, and won’t follow rules or listen. What remedy would you suggest and in what dosage?
Thank you,
Megan

Hello,
I have an adopted son who has severe ODD. He was born addicted to heroin and is missing his Corpus Callosum along with other white brain matter. He has learning and emotional delay. He is 11 and acts more along the lines of 4-5 years old. We have him on prescribed medications through a psychiatric physician, but his behaviors are growing worse and worse constantly. I am really interested in trying him on homeopathic treatment, but can’t afford to pay OOO for treatment. Is it possible to start him on a low dose of homeopathic meds without being evaluated in person? Would you be able/willing to help us? My husband and I are at our wits end. I get calls from school almost daily and our household is always chaotic due to his extreme anger outbursts. He literally fits every single symptoms listed above. He has been getting slowly worse since he was 3. He is now almost impossible to control. I appreciate any help you can provide.
I would love to connect with you! My adopted son is very similar to yours!!
Hello Dr. Sharma,
My 10 year old son has several of the symptoms described above for ODD behavior.
How can I determine which remedy is
most suitable for him and in which potency?
Based on the remedy descriptions, I think Nux Vomica is a good match.
My child is 3 yrs old & has a DIFFICULT time with ODD. He recently started on Tenex 1/2 mg twice daily however I’m not sure it is helping. I’m looking into alternative treatment. His behavior is totally out of control. His birth mother (deceased at 23yrs) , maternal grand & great grandmother have all been diagnosed with Bi-Polar. Birth mother was on MANY drugs/alcohol 1st seven weeks of pregnancy. This little boy needs HELP. Help me to help him,
My 4 year old throws major tantrums when she can’t get or do what she wants. She is very stubborn and fixates on what she wants. Sometimes she will hit or pinch or pull hair. She also hasn’t been listening at all to basic things she needs to do – just flat out ignoring the grown up telling her she needs to get dressed, or brush her teeth, etc. She doesn’t specifically say no, she just acts like she doesn’t hear or doesn’t want to.
