[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 351823, member: 2423"] What I think is you need a new doctor. A psychologist who does THOROUGH testing would not diagnose: ODD or CD because they are typically products of an underlying disorder (my son had EVERY symptom of ODD and never received the diagnosis because the neuropsychs knew it was a symptom of his other disorders). An undefined personality disorder because there are many personality disorders so a psychologist should diagnosis ONE, and a 14-year-old would have an EMERGENT personality disorder, not a full-fledged personality disorder because that occurs at age 18 "A little bit bipolar." You either have bipolar disorder or you don't. You can have a mood disorder-not otherwise specified, however. Are you seeing any benefit from your difficult child seeing this doctor? [/QUOTE]
