[QUOTE="Josie, post: 385981, member: 1792"] Most of us here think that ODD is a symptom and not a disorder by itself. If you can find and treat the cause of it, it can improve. Sometimes medications help. We put my older daughter on medications when she was not able to control herself without them. Eventually, we discovered that if she gave up gluten and casein, she didn't need the medications any more. The food allergies were the true cause of her agitation and the medications, when they worked, were suppressing the symptoms. My other daughter is taking medications now for her Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and to help her sleep because she desparately needs some help in those areas. In the past, she was diagnosed with mood disorder-not otherwise specified, Intermittent Explosive Disorder, and on the path to getting a bipolar diagnosis. She has other medical problems and in working on those, all of those mood disorder symptoms have gone away, even before we added the Lexapro and Remeron. In my experience, mainstream doctors treat symptoms. It is possible to find doctors who will look for the cause, but the cause is not always easy to find and maybe can't even be fixed if it is found. Symptom relief is sometimes necessary. [/QUOTE]
