[QUOTE="missy7222, post: 157410"] Hi, thank you all so much for your replies. I will clarify a couple of things. We have a diagnosis of ODD and anxiety, there is a possibility of ADHD, but the anxiety could me mimicking the symptoms. The evaluation she had was with a pyschologist and was only for about 1 1/2 during which, she completed some of the rating scales with her, I left the appointment. with all of the rating scales, for myself and her teacher. After they were all filled out and completed, they scored them and that's how they came up with the diagnosis. Honestly, in my opinion, it just was not thorough enough. I beleive I am going to pursue further testing which will be much more comprehensive, I beleive the full evaluations are like 2 days. I definately do not want to push the medications until we are more clear on exactly what is going on. The psychiatric at school has brough up a possible mood disorder, maybe bipolar, but obviously this would involve much more comprehensive testing. In my eyes there is nothing wrong with further testing if it will give us a clearer picture. The thing is too that I know there is a corolation between the ODD, bipolar, etc. being genetic a lot of the times and also they've tied it to parents who have substance abuse problems. Well, my husband is definately undiagnosed something, not sure if its just ADD or what, but he has also struggled with alcohol for most of his adult life (he's 41), but he would never admit that he has anything! I think that's where some of the struggles come from, he doesn't want to admit that he might have something that has passed down. I don't know, its all just so much of a struggle every day. I guess I just have no choice but to just trudge on......:not_fair: Missy [/QUOTE]
