[QUOTE="AllStressedOut, post: 74555, member: 3837"] I'm not terribly familiar with Residential Treatment Center (RTC)'s and respite care, but have you checked any out? Many on here will say that ODD is rarely a stand alone diagnosis. If the docs don't think she has ADHD and bipolar is in the family tree, I would want them to look at this possibility. Sheila is correct about the medications too, stimulants for ADHD and medications for depression can make bipolar worse. Give the doctor a call and see if they have a cancellation list to call you just in case they have an opening sooner. If she is getting violent with herself or others in the house, call 911. The paramedics can be witness to this and transport her to the local ER for evaluation. You need to be sure you, husband and your other kiddos are safe. [/QUOTE]
