Was wondering if anyone had any input on homeopathic remedies for kids with disciplinary problems and lack of respect for authority. My son has been diagnosed with Narcissistic personality disorder. Therapy and conventional treatment hasn't worked. Tried homeopathy in the past for his anger. He was given 3 doses of tarant. He rarely gets angry now. Has to be something out there for the rest of the trouble he is having. Would appreciate your input. Thanks and have a great day.

I would say this is a common thing,respectlessness to authority, and in many people this is sound,(would you think people like Einstein, would have been Einstein if not??HMM..) in most its not, that dont need treatment, just look at this bb, and you will see a lot of people showing the same things, and their not diagnosed.(some should have been..)

Anger, and other types of behaviour, that can be said to be pathological, is a other story.
That can be symptomes leading to something.
Besides, the rest of the story including the hom treatment is needed, in order to conclude, it may be , and its most likely since you say three doses tarant, that his problems is supressed, and will be worse, i a other form, a new disease.

Hi GM, and thanks for the swift reply. My son isn't just a child who disobeys rules, but a child who decides what he wants and then gets it. He doesn't think it through, doesn't consider consequences. As far as he is concerned, there should not and will not be consequences for him because he is above all that. He feels the rules don't apply to him. He does nothing I ask him to do, but will easily do things I have asked him not to do and then look right at me and tell me that he could see no reason not to do it. Example: Making long distance phone calls and talking for hours. For me, the reason not to do it is I can't afford the phone bill. He can't either and knows I can't, but that does not stop him from doing it. I know this sounds typical of alot of kids, but these problems are way out of control. He can't attend school because he can't control himself there either. He is no longer welcome at his dad and step mom's home. This kid has a great heart. Very sweet and compassionate. I know there has to be something I can do for him. Thanks again for your reply.....Becki

Anyhow, more info than this is needed, cant prescribe or conclude on any of this.

Dear Becki,

What is your son's confidence like? How does he see himself, esp in comparison to others?

Why is he not welcome at his father's house?

I have some ideas for a remedy based on what you have said but I need a little more information.

How does he get on with other children? What are his friends like?

More tarentula..

My son is overconfident. He views himself as better than or smarter than most everyone, including me. He is no longer welcome at his dad's because of the 6 years he just spent there getting progressively worse. He is verbally abusive at times, takes whatever he wants from family members with out persmission and was finally sneaking out of the house at night and staying out all night. He was sent back to me. Note that I sent him there in the first place to get help. He gets on with other children fairly well as long as they are followers. Small children love him. He has only one friend here as we live out in the country and he doesn't attend school. My son home schools. The company he was keeping at his father's house was very undesirable. Hope this helps David, and thanks so much for the reply. Have a great day!

This is still to little inf, her is undelying causes, and what is it with the father relationship???
Could be lyc, but its most probably natrium mur, or maybe lac canium.

I have seen a child just like this. The remedy is Platina - they feel that they are better than everyone else, that the normal rules do not apply to them.

I would give him a single dose of Platina M.

David

Wait, there's still not enough info. It could be any of the remedies suggested so far. Lyc, NM, LacCan, Plat...cannot say yet.

What are the boy's fears, if any?

Does he have any physical complaints?

Any food preferences or aversions?
