[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 337268, member: 1550"] Hi there and welcome to the board...sorry you had to come though. I agree that names like "conduct disorder" and "ODD" are pretty useless as they pretty much mean one thing: "He is defiant." It doesn't tell why. CD is also pretty severe a diagnosis, and supposed to be saved for those who are eighteen and either getting worse or not improved and indicates no conscience. I would wait for the evaluation (hopefully it is at a good university hospital or by a neuropsychologist). You'll get a better understand then, however it usually takes years to get the right diagnosis. Somebody (this is an adult) who have bipolar disorder can wait ten years to get the right diagnosis/treatment. Somebody with a personality disorder such as borderline can be misdiagnosed even longer. I fail to see how a psychologist (not the best diagnosticians anyway) can tell what's in your daughter's head by how she plays. He is simply guessing. We went to a neuropsychologist from Mayo Clinic who said, "Mayo makes mistakes ALL THE TIME. Everyone is just taking their best guess, since psychiatry has no blood tests." He was honest. And very good. I would do what works as far as treatment and have her evaluated over again at least every two years as. Good luck! We all need it! :raspberry-tounge: [/QUOTE]
