[QUOTE="Bunny, post: 399082"] I have an 11 year old who was diagnosed with ODD, but he was also diagnosed with general anxiety disorder. In our case, we believe that the anxiety he feels over everything that comes into his world is what drives the ODD behaviors. When his anxiety is under control, he is generally a pleasure to be around. When it's not, he can be...I think "challenging" would be a polite word to describe him. If you were give a diagnosis of ODD by itself I would keep digging. There is almost always something else that is driving the defiant behavior. I'm not saying that the ODD behavior will totally go away if you can figure out what the other underlying problem is, but it can help to lessen the defiance. Good luck. Pam [/QUOTE]
