Hello all! Some of you know me and my story well, but I wanted to introduce this thread to ensure that all members, both new and old feel comfortable asking me any questions. I am an adult who was diagnosed with ODD very young. I have been on psychiatric medications since age 5.
ODD is not generally recognized in the psychiatric community in those over 18, but I have very similar issues today. As an adult my official diagnoses are: Intermittent Explosive Disorder (Intermittent Explosive Disorder (IED)), Generalized Anxiety Disorder (Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)), major depressive disorder and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)).
To manage my conditions I take a medication cocktail of: Prozac (60mg), Abilify (5mg), Lamictal (100mg), Effexor (75mg), Vyvanse (30mg).
With these treatments, I have a fairly high quality of life with stable full-time work and a relationship.
Please feel free to ask me any questions about any aspect of my experiences of life as either an adult or child. I am here to provide insight into the mind and life of someone with ODD.
