Have a problem with aggressive behavior in your child? Get help here!
Dr. Ralph Ankenman presents new diagnoses and treatment options for
children who have severe disruptive meltdowns at home or school.
Referred to as Immature Adrenaline Systems Over-reactivity (IASO), this
approach is based on the relationship between aggression and the body's
adrenaline systems. Therefore, IASO does not require psychotropic drugs.
Instead, IASO reduces or eliminates psychotropic drugs from a child's
regimen. IASO stops episodes of violence and aggression in patients with
autism, bipolar disorder, developmental disabilities, and many with no
mental health diagnosis at all. Standard psychotropic drugs often do not
fully resolve these behaviors and lead to unnecessary side effects. A
companion website enables caregivers and parents to discuss and share
tips about this new approach.
