[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 466210, member: 7083"] As far as ODD, most of us here, and every mental health professional I've talked to (which is a lot) don't consider ODD to be a useful diagnosis, as they consider it to be more of a basket of symptoms rather than a cause. I imagine he has a diagnosis of DBD-not otherwise specified because of his age. I expect it will change as he gets older. Sometimes because of insurance reasons, they can't call it what they really think it is because of age requirements in the DSM-IV, but treat it accordingly. Depakote is a mood stabilizer used to treat bipolar disorder. [/QUOTE]
