[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 41733, member: 1550"] That's common in childhood bipolar, but it's not that the child is doing it just to make his parent's life miserable. It's because the child is holding it in and trying so hard not to make a fool of himself/herself in public that he/she explodes at home and at the safest person, the one who loves him unconditionally. This can improve alot or completely on the right medications. If you read up on early onset bipolar, you will see that this difference in behavior is described to a "t." As the child gets older and progresses, at times it becomes impossible for him or her to hold it in outside the house any longer and it can turn very hostile. All depends on the problem. In general, I agree with Dr. Greene. I don't believe kids wake up each morning thinking "I will make Mom miserable today unless she does exactly what I want." Also, ODD is rarely a stand alone diagnosis so there is usually something else triggering the ODD behavior. [/QUOTE]
