[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 49928, member: 59"] Robin, ODD does not always turn into CD. There are many children who have ODD tendencies who never progress any further. It is sometimes very difficult to sift out those who have ODD symptoms from those that are truly ODD. Oppositional behavior is common to many other disorders, just like depression is common to many disorders. I wish they would change the name of the ODD disorder so it was not as confusing. There is no special test for ODD. Like many other behaviors/disorders, the diagnosis is based on a set of symptoms that last for a ceertain amount of time. That's why these disorders are so difficult to diagnose, because there are no tests. I would think that most people in jails/detention facilities could be identified as having a conduct disorder, but some of them are just bad people. Some of them simply do bad things, not because of a disorder, but because they are criminals. I've never heard of ODD going into remission. That suggests that once you have it you always have it. I don't believe that, and I don't believe once you have CD you have to always have it either. That is true with bipolar but not ODD and CD. Nancy [/QUOTE]
