[QUOTE="misk, post: 106116, member: 4406"] I think all these answers say something.... My little guy is 6 and extremely aggressive/angry, but our psychiatric (who I think is wonderful) has stated in no uncertain terms that until the emotional stuff works through and the diagnosis is somewhat certain, medications are not on the table. She think we will get there, but also feels that over time (not a long time, we are talking Feb) she will have a better handle on whether it is ODD, ADHD (which I don't think it is) or some other personality disorder. Very difficult to tell in a 5 or 6 year old, and with conflicting medication reactions, the wait and see can be a pretty good approach. Is he angry and aggressive in an embarrassing way or truly a threat to safety at school. It is one thing to be difficult and another to be a safety issue for the other kids - those two extremes would suggest different solutions and wait periods. [/QUOTE]
