[QUOTE="Kjs, post: 57815"] Many more experienced wise board members will join to give you great advice. I can only offer personal experience. difficult child is very bright, I was blind to the fact he really did need help. It was suggested that he recieve spec. ed services, I refused. Only diagnosis I had was ODD. From what I read, there was no medication for it. I was determined not to give medication to my son. I fought this until he was in 5th grade. At this point the counselor(wonderful lady very good to / with difficult child) called me. difficult child was totally lost. Anxiety breakdown?? He asked to be hospitalized. This was a very stressful time at home also, I was a mess. We got him into a psychiatrist, started medication. It scared me to see difficult child so miserable, so lost. HE asked for help. He will be entering 8th grade in the fall. We struggle, but I can say the current medication has helped a great deal with his moods. Medication isn't for everyone, and what works with one maynot work with another. [/QUOTE]
