[QUOTE="branbran, post: 49660, member: 3762"] I have. I have filled out one of those a gizzillion times. I have filled out one for the Residential Treatment Center (RTC). as well. I am in close contact with her therapist as well as the psychologist. I have yet to hear from the psychiatrist, still waiting on that phone call. My difficult child will be getting an MRI and an EEG soon. Even though I'm quite sure they will come back fine as I do believe her problems are psychiatric. I don't want to give off the impression that I totally discount the idea of a CD diagnosis. That is not the case. I just feel that so many of the symptoms of so many of the disorders are so similar that CD should be a last resort diagnosis. If a child does have BiPolar (BP) and is not on the right medication, that can look alot like CD. I think we as parents, should not accept any diagnosis of this nature easily. If there were distinctive tests that could be taken to see what is really going on, then of course there really couldn't be much of an argument. Until those tests are available we should be very careful as to what lables our children are walking around with. Just my opinion. [/QUOTE]
