[QUOTE="helpangel, post: 261265, member: 7170"] Thank you for your response. I'm sure this is because of her disorders, I make complying much more attractive then rebelling that's for sure. As far as that alphabet soup of diagnoses that are going on I have mixed feelings about them. The bipolar & Asperger's I believe to be true after all the years and the testing and the psychiatric hospital stays. The hypothyroidism I believe whole heartedly because blood test results don't lie for 5+ years consistently. I've suspected for a long time that the ODD and adHd were just symptoms of the bipolar that for some reason psychiatrist felt needed their own diagnosis's - it's kind of hard to shoot down the ODD diagnosis when a kid will look a police officer in the eye spit in his face and kick him in the groin (but note she had active psychosis at that moment in time). When I researched Schizoaffective disorder everything I read - "with psychosis when no mood symptoms are present" and I had reported mood symptoms for 3 months leading up to that psychiatric hospital stay when they added that diagnosis (about a month ago); also they didn't do any bloodwork to find out what her thyroid was doing - so I don't believe the schizoaffective diagnosis at this time I think it should be bipolar mixed type with psychosis.
