Case Study: Brian Smith

Brian, age nine, was brought to the clinic after his classroom teacher suggested that he may need medication to help him focus and stop disrupting class. She had tried all that she could, but nothing was successful. His parents were leery of trying medication and wanted to try natural remedies first before giving him any psychiatric drugs. Brian has been receiving occupational therapy which has helped him focus during class. Brian admitted his mind would wander off when the teacher was writing on the blackboard and therefore he occupied his time with pretend play. Noises his classmates made, disturbed his concentration and he would get upset at them and argue. His mother also reported that, though Brian was a very affectionate child, he had always found it difficult to socialize with his peer group and would resort to aggression out of frustration.
