[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 199055"] Hi and welcome. ODD isn't chemical, it's behavioral. If it was the pediatrician who diagnosis'd, I would want a child psychiatrist (psychiatrist) evaluate her, as well. These things are just out of the realm of the pediatrician's area of expertise. So many symptoms overlap and you need an expert to differentiate. ODD can and does stand alone, but I believe it's the new ADHD - commonly over-diagnosed when the reality is often an underlying disorder causing the behaviors. My daughter has definite ODD behaviors stemming from her underlying issues, but no one has ever diagnosis'd her with ODD. Although, for years before we had a firm diagnosis, I did call it the PITA Syndrome. :raspberry-tounge: I also recommend [I]The Explosive Child[/I]. [/QUOTE]
