[QUOTE="Bunny, post: 484195"] difficult child is labeled ODD. Oppositional Defiant Disorder. For a while I pushed for that diagnosis, but I have come to believe that it's really just a label. They say ODD when they can't pinpoint why they are defiant. For us, it was Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) and ODD and what we were told was that if we could get the anxiety under control then the defiant behavior would slowly go away. It hasn't, and that's because the anxiety is not the only cause of it. We're still digging to try to figure out what makes him "tick" so to speak, and where the defiance comes from. At least you seem to have a starting point, and that's better than nothing. I hope that the therapist is able to help. [/QUOTE]
