I have a 13-year-old with Oppositional Defiant Disorder. No, it's not just because he is now a teenager. He's been like this all his life, but it has gotten much worse since he became a teenager...or I am much less tolerant of the refusing, blaming, threatening, screaming, etc. Does anyone know of a good psychologist/psychiatrist/therapist in the Los Angeles area who is knowledgeable about ODD?
I need a diagnosis so people will take me seriously. They dismiss me when they find out that it is my diagnosis. They also dismiss me when they find out he is not on medication, as though it could not be real if he is not being medicated.
