[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 563503, member: 1169"] Sometimes the reason is to have an insurance code. Many of our kids meet the criteria for ODD, but a key part of the criteria is "Must occur on its own, rather than as part of the course of another mental health problem, such as depression or bipolar disorder" For most of our kids, the ODD label is temporary until the underlying cause is discovered. Conduct disorder is different in that it can be diagnosis in addition to other mental illnesses except Anti-social Personality Disorder. I don't think most people would disagree with ODD being an accurate description of many difficult child's behavior. The concern is that is all it is...a description; no whys, no true treatment options. I am one that always suggest parents keep digging to find out why the child is ODD.....reaction to trauma (PTSD), chemical imbalance (bipolar), neurological imbalance (epilepsy).....without the WHY treatment outcomes are often very poor.
