[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 191961, member: 59"] Welcome and I hope you find support and help here. Sometimes ODD is just that ODD. Whether another therapist says ADHD or something else just doesn't change the ODD behavior or a child born with a defiant personality. My daughter was diagnosed with ODD at age seven. She is now 17 and I'm here to tell you that no one has ever been able to diagnose anything else that changed her behavior either with medications or therapy. Oh yes, her psychaitrist calls it not otherwise specified mood disorder for insurance purposes but everyone agrees she is defiant and based on her inherited genes she is fighting demons that no medication or other diagnosis can even begin to touch. I'm not saying that you should stop looking. We didn't. But we ended up spending thousands of dollars and ten years later we have the same thing we had when we began our quest. Very rarely does anyone find the magic medication that fixes everything. We are doing the best we can, taking ne year, one day at a time. Sometimes we make progress and othger times we go backwards. I'm interested in what kinds of behaviors your son is exhibiting. Does he have siblings? Nancy [/QUOTE]
