[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 87187, member: 1233"] Prayerful, this is a difficult situation. It sounds as though you may have something else going on. ODD and CD are not generally just side dishes with ADHD. ADHD is very commonly what our kids show to us first. For some of our kids it is just part of what is going on. Just because that is what was seen when he was diagnosis in 2001 does not mean it is all there is. Often young children simply don't show the entire picture because it hasn't developed. I don't know what is wrong, I am not your doctor. But have you seen a psychiatrist (with the MD) recently? For the problems you are currently having? Are you seeing a therapist (psychologist or social worker) who will talk with you and your son and try to find out what he/she can? Have you had him evaluated by anyone other than the 2001 psychiatrist? Much of the time what we see with a young child is kind of like what you see on a polaroid picture that first minute or so after it comes out of the camera. The picture is there but very blurry. As the child gets older the picture develops and more things can be evaluated and dealt with. Often ODD/CD symptoms can be caused by a number of different things. You don't want to be treating him for an infection when he has a broken leg, so to speak. With mental health issues it can be very very hard to figure out what is going on. My child, and many here, have been diagnosed with a number of different things, some correctly, some not. As time passes we redefine and refine the treatments our kids need. You mentioned psy doctor, did you mean psychologist or psychiatrist? I wasn't sure. Which developmental milestones did he reach early, and how early? What behaviors are happening at school that lead them to call you most days? I hope you have a good day tomorrow also!!! [/QUOTE]
