[QUOTE="tictoc, post: 321968, member: 7916"] Hi, Just wanted to second the opinion on Conduct Disorder...Not a very helpful diagnosis at such a young age. How confident are you in the diagnoses? How confident are you in the person who diagnosis'd your son? I think it is important to be very, very confident before you medicate. If you aren't, then you need to get another opinion. In retrospect, I wish we had had the necessary information to medicate Bug earlier. However, given the information we had, it was good that we did not medicate earlier. At 4 or 5, he simply would have been diagnosis'd with ADHD and ODD and put on stimulants. That would have been bad. We held off and by 6 he was diagnosis'd with Tourette Syndrome and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). So, we knew that stimulants would be a bad choice and moved right past them. I think it saved him and us a lot of problems. Good luck. Don't feel the need to rush. [/QUOTE]
