[QUOTE="Littleboylost, post: 718687, member: 21895"] I agree SWOT There are world accepted classifications, but how they are interpreted differ widely; and diagnosing is very subjective. CD is a syndrome not a true disease state. Until my son is clean from drugs long enough for any further investigation to occur, nothing more will be done on the mental illness front. And who knows if it's the chicken or the egg, perhaps he is a misdiagnosed ADHD or something else. Perhaps it is drug induced and will clear when and if he stops. What I do know is it is not normal behavior we see. It is disheartening and frustrating. We don't abide by his aggressive drug taking behavior and it is more and more difficult to manage. CBT is the focus for treating CD and ODD, it is. It a medically treated condition with pharmacopeia. And Frankly my kid has enough pharmacopeia on board already. I hope that his drug taking and bad behaviour improve one day. But for now I am focusing more on saving myself and less on his recovery. If I am working harder than he is on his recovery, it's not going to work. I don't think I could handle any more that 5 criminal charges in less than 3 months. Ugh! I so wish we knew more about the human condition and neurological development and disorders than we do. Some days perhaps we will. There is a new therapy being used in Europe for addiction. If I can find an article I will set up a link. I almost want to send my kid for treatment. It can't hurt. [/QUOTE]
