[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 589799, member: 1550"] ODD doesn't stand by itself. The definition of ODD would fit almost all of our kids, but that defiance is not the reason they misbehave. There is a bigger diagnosis than ODD driving the diagnosis. Most of us feel ODD is unhelpful. There is no cause and no treatment because it is attached to other things. I am puzzled why a doctor would say a kid has ODD and give him an ADHD medication. Can a psychologist prescribed medication in your state? In our state it has to be the medical guy, the Psychiatrist. And I'd trust the Psychiatrist a lot more to make a diagnosis. Actually, I recommend a complete evaluation so you know all about your child and what drives him and causes his symptoms. If the medication helps, I'd be more inclined to believe he may have undiagnosed ADHD. Can you tell us more about your son? Maybe we can give you fresh ideas from the trenches :) We've all been there. Welcome to the board. So sorry you had to be here though. [/QUOTE]
