Well, my son has Conduct disorder, ADHD, Bipolar and likely Executive Function disorder... this all came to light about 2 months ago when, after having moved in with me and my wife for 2 months, we discovered he had stolen over $8000 from emergency funds we had hidden in our room (pretty much...

My 11 year old son has Oppositional Defiant Disorder. Can anyone recommend a good therapist in Maryland, particularly southern Maryland? I am looking for someone who works with kids on a daily basis.

Our 12 year old son has been diagnosed with ADHD, ODD and Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD). We adopted him from Russia at the age of 13 months old, and we're having severe issues with ODD behaviors.

Alright, I’m at a loss with this child today. Two steps forward, 3 steps back. So, after YEARS of getting in trouble/suspended from school (almost expelled) we got an IEP evaluation done, son was classified as E/I. Great. We got an IEP in place that has good supports for him and his O.D.D. – social...

I had no idea this site existed, I actually Googled "when you can't stand your child" and this popped up. So I guess I'm not alone :(. I have an almost 15 year old son diagnosed on the spectrum (aspergers), depression, he's definitely has ODD. He makes our daily lives basically a living hell...

Hi, I’m new here. Been reading and lurking while learning more about my son (and lets be honest, coming to accept/process it all) so here I am finally posting. My signature has the basics for now :) And I’d like to share about my son – because I can’t really opening talk about it with others...

So DS had been doing a little better since seeing the psychiatrist (along with his therapist). We had tried generic prozac, but that increased suicidal ideation, so she took him off that and decided just to treat his insomnia. That had helped some, but he still has violent episodes. On...

So I just found this place today, I'm so glad that I did, so I figured I'd just jump right in and post because as much as I appreciate my friends offering their support I just want someone who can relate and goes through this struggle with me. So to start out, my son has had issues with defiance...

Hi this is my first post, I'm settled now but very concerned for my 10 year old daughter. My daughter has been diagnosed with ADHD, ODD, and I don't remember the name but it is a disrespect for authority figures at the age of 6. She takes Concerts daily although I don't like to give it to her...
