[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 198371, member: 2423"] Welcome! I'm glad you found us. What kind of doctor gave your daughter a diagnosis of conduct disorder? In general, it's a diagnosis reserved for the over-18 crowd and really not all that helpful in finding the appropriate treatment to help her. It is usually a description of behaviors that have an underlying cause (like anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, Autistic Spectrum Disorder, etc). When the underlying cause is identified and treated (medications, therapy, academic interventions), the unacceptable behavior typically improve. Sorry for all the questions, but your answers will help us help you. Is she taking any medications? If so, what/doses? And are the medications making things better, worse or about the same? Is she in therapy? How does she do in school, both academically and with peers? Any developmental or speech delays? Any sensory issues (for example, sensitivity to clothing tags, loud noises, food textures)? Any mental health issues or substance abuse in the family tree? What exactly does "compulsive tendencies" mean? How do they manifest themselves? When you get a chance, please create a signature similar to mine below (go to User CP at the top of this page). It helps us remember the details of your family every time you post. Again, welcome. [/QUOTE]
