[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 390550, member: 1963"] First of all, most of us here don't consider ODD to be a real diagnosis: it's more a set of symptoms caused by an underlying disorder (and there are a bunch of them). The medication you have is usually prescribed for ADHD which can be an underlying disorder for ODD. Who diagnosed this child? Was ODD given as the working diagnosis? What we recommend in these cases is a thorough neuropsychological evaluation. That is done by a psychologist with speciall training in the workings of the brain. It's too easy for some doctor to spout "ADHD/ODD" and have it turn out to be something completely different. [/QUOTE]
