[QUOTE="Californiablonde, post: 552656, member: 2196"] So very true. ODD is never a stand alone diagnosis. It's more like a symptom. difficult child 1 got labeled with ODD when she was six years old. ADHD didn't fit and autism didn't fit. We tried her out on a bipolar mood stabilizer plus added a AP and she did a complete and total turnaround. Bipolar turns out to be her diagnosis. All those rages and meltdowns she was having? Turns out she honestly couldn't control it. NO amount of therapy or behavior modification helped. It wasn't until we found the right medication, and it did take awhile, but once we did, she finally stabilized. She rarely melts down any more. She's more like a typical teen with all the the teenage drama and hormones that go along with it, but no major melt downs. My life is so much easier without all the rage. Sure she can be difficult, but no more full blown rages. Something else is going on with your son. Have you seen a psychiatrist or neuropsychologist? I know you say you've had therapy for him, but how about an actual MD? [/QUOTE]
