[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 457129, member: 11791"] ODD isn't so much a "useless" diagnosis as it is a "placeholder" diagnosis. Its very rare for ODD to be the actual baseline problem that needs to be solved (I have heard of a few...). Far more often, there will be multiple undiagnosed problems that are driving this person crazy. They can't handle it, haven't been listened to, haven't been supported - because nobody knows what is going on. The ODD diagnosis means... there is definitely something going on, and its serious and has to be dealt with. But instead of trying to "fix" the behaviors (which rarely works), you need to "find" the "real" problems and start fixing them... and the behaviors will change OR at least can be modified. As others have said, there could be a whole range of potential issues. Some may be developmental - like ADHD or something on the autism spectrum. Some may be mental health - depression, anxiety - or mood disorders like BiPolar (BP) or some form of attachment disorder. The approach taken with any one of these is very different from "behavior modification". Moving this child again... is asking for worse trouble. Stability is absolutely key to any hope of progress. For kids, a move is one of the most stressful events in life - and that statement is for well-balanced neuro-typical kids! Its much worse for difficult child kids. [/QUOTE]
