Good afternoon everyone. I am Andriy’s mother. 10 years old. We live in Chernivtsi. We have completed 6 stages of treatment. A year ago we came to the 5th stage of treatment, but at the same time my son was taking sulpiride tablets. They were prescribed to us by a psychiatrist in Poland, without medication we were not allowed to go to school, and I really wanted my son to study. At first, the medication was good, he started studying very actively at school, the teachers praised him. Towards the end of the year I realized that my son had suffered some kind of violence at school, he did not want to go there, was very afraid, stopped picking up a pen and aggression began again. We came to the 5th stage and the aggression increased every time, I carried him home holding him the whole way. When we got home, my son got sick with Covid, he had a bad cough and so we went to the doctor, on the way two big dogs attacked us. My son was so scared that he fainted. After that, his behavior became like that of a dog. He stopped talking, going to the toilet, he was not interested in anything, the two words he said were I will kill my mother, or I beat my mother. He began to live only to beat me with his favorite methods. We did an examination and it turned out that he had a complete intolerance to lactose, gluten and many other products that he mainly ate. And the sulpiride also contained lactose. It turns out that I unknowingly poisoned the child with food, medications and also strong stress did its job. My son started having stomach problems. The gastroenterologist gave him a bunch of medications, which also did not give a good result.

I put him on a diet and gradually he at least began to understand who he was. I took him off psychotropic drugs, but the consequences did not pass without a trace. The aggression became so strong that he began to faint. They did an encephalogram, which showed epileptic manifestations. The neurologist prescribed Depatin and the child drank for six months. When we arrived at the 6th stage, we had this picture. The son only spoke to himself, there was no direct speech, terrible aggression and auto-aggression. He ran to the toilet at home by himself, and on the street he took off his pants somewhere, did not repeat, very rarely could he answer anything. There was no question of him making contact with anyone, during the procedures I could barely hold it, he would break out and beat, with a mask the same picture.

It was impossible to go somewhere with him on the street. He started beating both of us with my husband, we could not help it. Some people shouted at us, some called the police. The worst problem became in the evenings, putting me to bed. Strong aggression and screaming began. He could run around the house all night looking for me, my husband, to beat him with his favorite methods, you have to hold him so that he falls asleep. At night he would wake up saying I will kill my mother and run to another room to beat me or my father. He would hang around in his own world, gesturing with his right hand. He would talk mainly about how he had beaten someone himself. They held him all the way to bring him to Dnipro from Chernivtsi and he still arrived all beaten up.

After 10 days of treatment: his aggression and auto-aggression decreased. He started saying that he wanted to go to the toilet and wouldn’t take his pants off on the street, but he went to the toilet. He started answering questions a little, repeating them, and gradually we could negotiate. When on the 3rd day of treatment he just sat next to his father and fell asleep, we couldn’t believe that such a thing could happen. Now he still has to be held, but he falls asleep much faster and fights less. He wakes up less at night and rarely gets aggressive. He became calmer, today the first day he spent 40 minutes in a mask without tantrums or fights. The drooling went away. I made a big mistake by listening to the doctors and giving my son psychotropic drugs, I wrote my story, maybe someone is also waiting for a miracle from medication, but miracles do not happen in this matter. There is a little improvement, and then the end begins for the child and parents. Therefore, protect your children from violence and stress, from such sad doctors who tell you that without their magic pills your child will not live. And after this treatment, we have hope and confidence that not everything is lost, that something can still be fixed. I want to sincerely thank the Professor and the entire team for their hard and invaluable work, for their wisdom and discipline, for their understanding. For starting to save our family and our child. I know that there is a lot of work ahead, but I believe that there will be light at the end of the tunnel.
