[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 267588, member: 6546"] Hello and Welcome! There are counselors and then there are counselors--and it sounds as though yours has diagnosed ODD and recommended a residential treatment facility. To me, those two things do not make any sense. I am wondering if your counselor is not the right one for your situation....? ODD is more of a "description of behavior" rather than a reason. And when you heard that your child was oppositional and defiant--didn't you feel like saying "[I]Yea, tell me something I DON'T know[/I]."...? I know that was MY reaction. Something is happening to cause your daughter to act in oppositional and defiant ways. Clearly she is angry. Clearly she is upset. Is there another underlying condition that is yet undiagnosed? Possibly. But until your daughter is very thoroughly tested, there is no way to know for sure and any sort of treatment (whether medication or residential facilities) will just be a shot in the dark. Find a child neuropsychologist and arrange for a complete exam. Then, you may have a few more answers and will know which direction to head for treatment. --DaisyF [/QUOTE]
