[QUOTE="graceupongrace, post: 275578, member: 7371"] I'm really puzzled by the doctor's reply -- wait until he's older?! Huh?! ODD is really a description of a constellation of symptoms. It almost always travels with other conditions, e.g., ADHD. There is no medication to treat ODD per se. medications can be used to treat the underlying disorder, and then "treating" ODD -- I think "managing" is a better word -- is a matter of redirecting the inappropriate behavior. And there's no single way to do that. In our case, it was a long time before the psychiatrist used ODD to describe difficult child. A thorough evaluation (similar to the neuropsychologist evaluation. that many here recommend), regular observations, trial & error on different medications, and ruling out other conditions (e.g., bipolar) came first. Hugs, Grace [/QUOTE]
