[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 456629, member: 11791"] Hi, and welcome... Usually you'll get more questions than answers at first... as we get to know your situation, its easier to provide feedback. Who did the diagnoses? Any medications for anxiety/depression? Around here, ODD is usually taken as a place-holder diagnosis - yes, there are behavior problems. ODD diagnosis doesn't give any guidance on why, or how to fix. Its a flag that there are problems, and you need to get to the bottom of the rest of the issues. Any chance there's some ADHD in the background? Pot is one of the "self-medications" used by undiagnosed ADHD people... Depression alone would account for some of the behaviors you list. But there may be other things going on as well. Consider creating a signature (sig). It keeps in front of us the skeleton of your situation - helps when replying to threads later. Hang in there!
