[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 26433, member: 2423"] CarCar, there are no medications specifically for ODD. Think of ODD as a symptom, not a diagnosis unto itself. ODD simply describes behaviors that are generally part of an underlying disorder. When the underlying disorder is diagnosed and treated, the ODD behaviors typically subside. That's why we recommend a thorough evaluation -- usually multidiscliplinary or neuropsychological -- at a university or children's hospital. We also recommend an evaluation with a board-certified child/adolescent psychiatrist if mood issues (anxiety, depression, mood disorder) are suspected. Counselors are not qualified to diagnose complicated childhood disorders. Did the behaviors you're seeing develop suddenly? Is there any chance substance abuse is involved? Are there any neurological or psychiatric disorders in the family tree? [/QUOTE]
