[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]

OP - as a parent of a DS who went through very similar issues as your son, I sympathize with you. However, my recommendation is to immediately schedule an appointment with a psychiatrist who is equipped to handle your son’s needs.

I highly recommend Dr. Caroline Tan. She is amazing and will be able to help find you resources and work with you his medication.

Also, my recommendation is to keep the crisis hotline number handy and only call the police if you believe someone’s life is being threatened.

Lastly, take comfort in knowing that after some very stressful years, our son is now doing well. I wish you strength and patience during this process and the best medical care possible. [/quote]
