[QUOTE="keista, post: 456688, member: 11965"] Hello and welcome! I'm not a fan of the ODD diagnosis either. in my opinion the manifestation of depression and anxiety symptoms can easily explain the ODD behavior. Any medications? If not that might be the first thing you want to look into. If yes, they might need to be adjusted or changed. They are not "one size fits all" and can even make symptoms worse. I've come across many blogs on the internet of 20 somethings sharing their stories of being poorly medicated as teens DESPITE their own complaints that the medications were not working or making things worse, and they resorted to self medicating to alleviate symptoms. Usually these kids had inattentive parents that were too wrapped up in their own lives to take the time to listen to the very real cries for help. Welcome again. You've found a great place for support, guidance and insights. [/QUOTE]
