[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 49642, member: 2423"] I don't disagree that ODD and CD exist. But from everything I've learned from our three psychiatrists, these are dxes of last resort. In other words, all other psychiatric and neurological disorders must be ruled out as underlying causes before a primary diagnosis of ODD or CD is given. Frequently ODD or CD is the result of an underlying disorder like anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, Autistic Spectrum Disorder, etc. I personally would not trust a primary diagnosis of ODD or CD given by a psychologist. If that happened to one of my children, I would insist upon evaluations by a child psychiatrist, a neurologist and a neuropsychologist to rule out underlying psychiatric and neurological disorders as a cause of the ODD or CD behaviors.
