I just read a few articles on ODD, if anyone has had personal experience with this disorder, I would love to know about it. I suspect 2 of my son's, but I'm not really happy with the medications that are suggested in treating it. Do I even approach their doctor with the possible diagnosis? Or do I go towards the therapy side of treatment. Any of you with PERSONAL experience please send me a few lines.

Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD)
2006-07-30 05:16:03 · update #1
I am a social worker and have encountered a few of these kids in my time. ODD kids are generally fairly difficult to deal with because, well, they're oppositional. However these kids do not usually get into serious trouble or do things that severely hurt people. If they do then it becomes Conduct Disorder which usually leads to Anti-social personality disorder as adults. I would rec commend the therapy side of treatment. It is possible that your kids may just be strong willed and opinionated, attempt to see their strengths. Try hard not to label them if you can avoid it. Read up on it, maybe look at the DSM-IV-TR and get the opinion of a mental health professional. Good luck.

I have heard of it. You should be able to find some info on it. I have no personal experience. I think it would be appropriate to discuss both with their doctor and get them evaluated by a specialist.
