[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 85064"] I don't understand..."it's just a label like ADD/ADHD"? What does that mean? Does he not believe in those 'labels'? If he doesn't like labels, what is he expecting the psychiatrist (psychiatrist) to treat? It sounds to me like this therapist doesn't know how to help your son and rather than saying it's out of his league or he isn't connecting with your child, he's saying there's nothing more he can do. And saying it with the implication that there is nothing more that can be done. I've seen it happen. I would find someone new. I would meet with this new professional alone the first time and explain that your son is difficult, explain the history and see if this new professional feels he's up to the task. To borrow from another member, Nancy, ODD the disorder is much different from ODD behaviors. ODD behaviors can be seen in many, many other disorders/illness (bipolar, depression, anxiety, autism spectrum to name a few), but once those disorders/illnesses are treated, the ODD behaviors dissipate. ODD the disorder isn't so easy to treat. [/QUOTE]
