[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 42991, member: 1550"] I was a bipolar kid and would go long times without raging and was not violent. I DID have violent thoughts and my rages were NOT fun for the family, or for me, but I didn't hurt anybody. I would throw things and sometimes break things, but didn't hit people. I was more apt to act out on myself as I got older, and was still undiagnosed/not medicated. I also managed to hold things together at school and outside the house until I got into my teens. Then I acted out as an angry teen. I don't think you have bipolar without a lot of anxiety. I believe they go hand in hand. I was also very phobic and a nervous basketcase. The medications helped everything a real lot. He's getting help young and that's great. ODD is just a part of bipolar. I'd say every person with bipolar is probably also ODD. In my layperson's opinion, but also that of my psychiatrist, ODD is part of the bipolar spectrum, and often an "ODD" child suddenly improves remarkably once they are put on a mood stabilizer. I think we'll see the day when the stand alone diagnosis of ODD no longer exists. Again, this is my opinion and that of my shrink. [img]:smile:[/img] [/QUOTE]
