[QUOTE="oceans, post: 50370, member: 2687"] I think that the problem is that often times a child gets a diagnosis like this without enough of an evaluation, or without seeing what the proper medications could do. I am not at all happy that someone wanted to call my child oppositional, and used that as an excuse that the medications were not working, and pretty much left us to flounder. Thank goodness I kept seeing new psychiatrists and getting new evaluations along the way. Thank goodness that by not giving up, my child is now on medications that are working. Thankfully, since the medications are working, there is no oppositionality left at all. He is peaceful, kind, and easy to get along with. He is willing to listen and try. He is totally different. That is why I believe it is important that people know that it MIGHT not really be ODD at such a young age. That they need to really explore that before they are accepting of that kind of diagnoses. That the right medications might make all the difference in the world. [/QUOTE]
