[QUOTE="kim75062, post: 712572, member: 20727"] Sorry your going through this with your son. My son also fits all the symptoms of ODD (except the Vindictiveness) but as others have said its really more of a group of symptoms then it is an actual diagnosis that can be treated. My son is also only 6 so Im sure that makes a big difference. I can tell you that if hes saying he cant help it, he cant and its a cry to you for help. My son acted the same way on stimulants (we've tried 4 or 5 now) and the anger seems to rapidly decrease and then hes his "normal" self again after a few days off of them. Because mine is so young no doctor will say hes bi-polar, but i see it as a diagnosis in a few years. I can also say that though very expensive abilify did help him quit a bit, his mood stabilized and he was no longer getting angry over the sillyist little things. He was in more control of him self and overall happier then I had seen him in months. Unfortunately he was getting brain fog after a few months on it and to many increases of the medication. The doctor was going off size rather then age and i think it was to much for him. We took him off to let his system rid itself of the medications and re-evaluate his baseline. [/QUOTE]
