[QUOTE="buckeye, post: 128152, member: 4726"] I am new to this group. My 12 year old son was just diagnosed with a Conduct Disorder. We have been working with a psychologist and psychiatrist for over a year and nothing seems to be working. We have tried Trileptal. He has been suspended from school at least once a week. He is very bright, in gifted classes and is missing many opportunities due to his behavior. We even hired an advocate to help us but he just keeps getting in trouble. He even has an aid and an IEP. Today his psychiatrist changed the diagnosis from ODD to Conduct Disorder. He told us that there is "no great treatment" for this diagnosis. He explained that it is difficult to treat and that they normally "treat the things around it". He suggested that we try Aibilify. He said that we can continue to meet with he and the psychologist but it probably won't help much. After telling us this and handing us a prescription, he sent us on our way. I felt like he handed us a death sentence for our child with no ray of hope. Have any of you tried Abilify? Is it working? What other treatment options have you tried? Thank you. :2sad: [/QUOTE]
