[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 262604, member: 1550"] Hi there. I was wondering if you're satisfied with the diagnosis or if you think maybe there's something going on that was missed. Are there are psychiatric problems on either side of his family tree? Any mood disorders or substance abuse? Did he have any early delays and does he have any trouble socializing? ADHD/ODD combined is very often something else. Who evaluated him? My son was misdiagnosed so many times, and he didn't get better until he was re-evaluated intensively and tested for all disorders by a neuropsychologist. I'm always "iffy" when I see the ADHD/ODD diagnosis. Stimulants can make certain problems worse. And no medications at all can mess with certain disorders too. Other disorders require certain interventions that you just don't get when the diagnosis. is just ADHD/ODD. Your son sounds very different. Can you describe him in more detail? Has he ever had an intensive evaluation with testing? [/QUOTE]
