[QUOTE="Giulia, post: 522142, member: 14306"] Hello, ODD and bipolar can have overlapping symptoms. So telling whatever it is ODD or bipolar is not our job, but the psychiatrist's job. However, be aware that juvenile bipolar is more often than not misdiagnosed as ADHD and/or ODD. If the for ADHD didn't do nothing and no behavioral solution seem to work, then, an evaluation for bipolar cannot harm. Also, anxiety can fuel her behavior. I am quite surprised about a ODD diagnosis without anything else, because ODD is a odd diagnosis (no pun intended). It is extremely rare that a child has only ODD. It may exist, but it's hyper rare. More often than not, ODD comes along with something else. If you don't know the something else, you cannot treat efficiently the ODD. So, I cross my fingers for the evaluation. It can only bring a better outlook for your daughter. [/QUOTE]
