[QUOTE="graceupongrace, post: 294604, member: 7371"] witsend, So sorry you're going through this! It's hard and scary, especially when you're on your own. I'm just a mom, not a doctor, but... I would have guessed drugs because of the sudden onset. The other thought I had was depression. It presents differently in teens than in adults -- it comes out as anger and irritability rather than deep sadness. Could he be depressed? Or has anyone considered PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) related to the assault? As I understand it, ODD rarely exists on its own -- there's usually something else going on. And the raging hormones of adolescence seem to magnify everything. In addition to caring for him, make sure you care for yourself. (I'm much better about saying that than doing it, but it really is important.) [/QUOTE]
