[QUOTE="JLady, post: 223951, member: 6439"] Welcome. I too have a 7 year old son that the pediatrician diagnoised as ADHD/ODD. We have been to psychologists and to a child psychiatrist. The child psychiatrist ruled out the ODD but does say my son has some mood disorder...just not sure what one yet. I'm new to all of this so I really understand how you feel. One thing I have had a hard time understanding is that the reasons for the behavior really isn't the child's fault. There is something "wrong" with them. We wouldn't be upset if they had kidney problems or any other medical issue. This is also a medical issue that requires attention. There is a ton of information on the web about ADHD and ways to deal with it. I have also checked out several books at the library which have really helped. Right now I'm reading The Explosive Child and it is extremely helpful. The people around here have a world of knowledge as well and have helped me tremendously. Do some research and take a deep breath. Understanding what is going on really does help but it takes a while. [/QUOTE]
