[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 50003, member: 59"] There is a big difference between urging parents of very young children to question whatever diagnosis they are given, especially CD and some who constantly and vigorously question every single diagnosis of ODD and CD and try to persuade you it's something else, usually bipolar or autism. Why can't we use a disclaimer on all forums and suggest second opinions are useful or that children change so rapidlly that what may look like something today will change many times over the years. That way we can allow parents to post here without always being second guessed that their diagnosis is incorrect. I do not see that done with any other diagnosis, just ODD and CD. MWM has said herself that she and her children have been misdiagnoses many times. Who is to say the current diagnosis is not another misdiagnosis? Who is any of us to say what is correct or incorrect in someone else. I read that some say if you are on this medication or that medication you must be bipolar or whatever. My sister is on a mood stabiler because she had heart surgery a couple years ago and her moods were all over the place. She is certainly not bipolar. My easy child take Paxil, she is not depressed, she has anxiety and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). I happen to believe that we are all a little Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), some of us have learned ways to overcome it. Thank goodness we were not all diagnosed and put on pills. I use to count steps I took and repeat sentences in my head and have to do things an even number of times. I outgrew that in my young adulthood. Thank goodness someone didn't try to convince me it was soemthing I had to live with or take a medication for. This has come up over and over again and always with the members who seem to want to get their point across that ODD does not exist. The original owner of this board would probably disagree with that. It is not helpful to constantly argue that the diagnosis of ODD or CD is not correct because you know a child that was diagnosed with that and it was wrong. And I'll say it again, my difficult child has ODD and has not been diagnosed with any other mental disorders. It does not mean she doesn't have some symptoms that are common to other disorders at times, but she has ODD. It can and does exist alone or with other things. Who cares. Why is it so important to persuade someone it doesn't? Nancy [/QUOTE]
