[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 125697, member: 1550"] ODD is a part of most childhood disorders. The history on both sides of your family is very strong for a mood disorder, which is often misdiagnosed as ADHD. The scary part is, ADHD medications of any kind make a mood disorder worse. I wouldn't bother with the pediatrician. Diagnosing psychiatric or neurological disorders is not really his field. He's the one who does the sniffles and other childhood diseases. Childhood disorders I trust only to NeuroPsychs (they've always been the best for me) or Psychiatrists with that big MD after their names (not therapists). The pediatrician is most likely to brush it off, and call it ADHD because he hasn't been trained in other areas with that much expertise. A neuropsychologist will do intensive testing. I wish you luck, keep looking for your answers. (I'm an oldbee here and I welcome you warmly)! [/QUOTE]
