[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 49676, member: 59"] "If there were distinctive tests that could be taken to see what is really going on, then of course there really couldn't be much of an argument. Until those tests are available we should be very careful as to what lables our children are walking around with." I completely agree with you branbran. I think you should continue seeking answers for your daughter. I don't agree though that there is no hope for conduct disorders. I believe people can change and it is proven everyday with people who commit a crime, take their punishment, and continue on their lives never commiting another crime. But I agree that we should all be very careful about labeling our children, and fortunately the professioanls I've dealt with have felt the same way. There are still many stigmas in our society with insurance companies and employers and government agencies. I see that changing a little over the years but we have a long way to go. It's too easy to label someone bipolar or adhd or cd or odd the perhaps their personality is just very impulsive or moody and it gets them into a lot of trouble until they reach a certain maturity level and can think before they act.
