[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our DS was (almost) diagnosed several years ago with ODD. I knew it was not ODD and got another evaluation from a different psychiatrist. Turned out he has Bipolar I with anxiety. That is still the correct diagnosis several years later--and has nothing to do with ODD at all. I think ODD is over diagnosed when experts often don't know what actually is the matter, especially because they do not really know your child or understand their behavior. I had more opportunity to closely monitor him. Glad I pushed harder for a correct diagnosis.[/quote] OP here: Thanks for this. I am going to do some pushing. ODD just seems like an easy label for the bad behavior he was having in school even though he doesn't really fit that diagnosis, as it's not constant and his behaviors come and go. [/quote]
