[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 303679, member: 1233"] ODD is in NO WAY exclusive to bipolar. My Aspie could have written the book on ODD. So could many of our difficult children with as many diagnosis's as their are toes on all of their feet! THAT is exactly why ODD is a garbage can diagnosis. It just tosses a lot of behaviors into the ODD bin with no clue as to what causes them. Risperdal is an atypical antipsychotic. It is great for use with aggressive kids. It will not CAUSE mood cycling as far as anyone knows. But it is NOT real treatment for the true problems of bipolar. For that you need mood stabilizers, often a combo of two of them. Others can tell you more about them. Or you can google them. Just don't get too caught up in the side effects. While they ARE important, every single medication has a very long list of awful side effects. The trick is to get the help with the fewest side effects. [/QUOTE]
