[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 128817, member: 1550"] Without thinking twice, I'd have her re-evaluated by a neuropsychologist. ODD rarely stands alone and if the underlying disorder that causes the ODD is not caught and treated, it can develop into serious conduct disorder. She may have reasons that you don't yet understand for being the way she is. Are there mood disorders in your family? #1 disorder that pairs up with ODD is childhood bipolar. And there ARE medications for it and the ODD can disappear if the other disorder is treated. I would definitely look beyond "ODD." In spite of your child being "mean" it sounds like she is really miserable and that the treatment she is getting is not working, another clue that it is probably more than just ODD. My motto is: "Better to be safe than sorry." I would not just leave it at this. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
