[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thank you all for your suggestions. It’ll take some time for me to check out the details of some of these advices. I’ll look into the parenting classes for ODD. In terms of meds, the several doctors I saw so far (two psychologists, a pediatrician and a neurologist) all said he should do CBT and CBIT first. Then try meds. The neurologist referred him to a psychiatrist, who would see him in late July. We’ll talk with the psychiatrist about meds during the appointment.

DS is only 15. He doesn’t have behavior issues at school. [/quote]
This is Abilify PP from page 1.  My advice to you is to make it clear to all three doctors *now* and the psychiatrist in July: what his behaviors are, and the frequency.  Keep a log and read it if you need to.  I'm not saying you need to demand that medication, I'm just saying - you're talking about verbal and physical violence.  Make sure all the professionals are clear on that point, and that their timeline is appropriate.  [/quote]
