<p>Because he is getting tired, inattentive, and a behavioral problem after lunch, I would definitely recommend getting him checked out for blood sugar issues and observe what he eats to see if there’s a difference according to behavior and moods. You’ve just described someone with physical problems that are causing mental issues.</p>
<p>I second the omega-3’s that someone else suggested too.</p>
<p>I’m on the side of try everything else first, then use meds when necessary. The only problem is that the person has to admit there’s a problem and want to change. My thought on that is that if he can agree to make some changes and get some medical testing to help figure out what the problem is, he might find that he feels better, and he’ll suddenly see there’s a difference. He has no idea what “normal” feels like. He’s trying to think through a haze - it must be very difficult and frustrating, causing him to act out.</p>
