[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 487026, member: 11791"] Hi, and welcome. Mind if we start with questions? It helps us get a little better feel of the situation - and different people are thinking about different things, so... different questions! Who did these dxes? and when? What kinds of things did she strugle with early in school? Generally - ODD is just a label, not a diagnosis. Sure, its in the "manual". But... there can be all sorts of other dxes that actually explain what is going on, far better than ODD. So, we'll just admit she has behavior issues... big question is, why? Not unusual to have executive function deficits with ADHD. Not unusual to [U]end up with[/U] depression or anxiety - not sure what other "mood disorder" she would have... but notice the phrasing... so often, in kids with challenges, depression and/or anxiety are [B]secondary dxes[/B]. They come about because of the real issues not being caught, or not getting the right interventions/accommodations/medications... plus the social issues that fall out of the challenges at school. Where does that leave you? and her? Well... that's where the history comes in... Might give us some clues? [/QUOTE]
