[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 137631, member: 1550"] With the family history, I would want her to see somebody with good credentials, such as a Psychiatrist (with the MD) rather than any sort of talk therapist. Rather than ODD, which rarely stands alone, she may have an emerging mental illness. Maybe not, but, again, due to the family history I think it's best she be carefully watched. I would make an appointment. with a Child Psychiatrist who works in a University or Children's hospital and go from there. It is unlikely just ODD, and I wouldn't try to diagnose her yourself. It is hard enough for psychiatrists to diagnose little kids correctly, but they have medical school behind them and have a better shot than we do. Good luck and welcome. [/QUOTE]
