News of Oppositional Defiant Disorder Forum

Hi,
I'm at my wits end, and I'm hoping some of you can help.
My relationship has just ended. I ended it. My boyfriend I think may have ODD. But someone has only just said this may be what he has.

Can I please share some of our relationships issues on here, and can some of you tell me if this sounds true to ODD?

He lies a lot. He can't handle it if I ...

My son Grant is 7 years old and in first grade. He has ADHD, anxiety, and PDD. He had an episode at school last Thursday and they put him on an administrative leave. They said he can't come back until we agree to place him in an ED classroom full time. I am afraid that his IEP is not being correctly implemented and that they just want him gone. We met on Friday and we ...

Hello,
I've never posted to a forum before but i need advice. I am a single father of two young daughters ages 7&8. About a year and a half ago my girlfriend moved in with us with her 10 year old son. He suffers from ADHD and ODD. She told me that he had these disorders prior to moving in but i had no idea exactly what the severity was as i have never dealt ...

I love to say that I'm right a lot, especially when it comes to psychological disorders--mostly because it's my field of study and I'm working towards a PhD in the field. However, this isn't something that I'm being bratty and "I'm-always-right" about. I'm 23 years old and have a little brother who will be 12 in a few months. He is absolutely horrendous to our parents. He is not adopted, he is not a half-child ...

HI, I am a Nanny for a family with six children. All the children have special needs in some where from food allergies to mental disabilities. I would like some in sight on how I can help each individual child overcome their struggling battles that they have everyday. The four older children have a past that no child should ever have to go through. Each child is uniquely different in their own ways. They have ...

Just stumbled across the board during my search for ODD and was hoping somebody could offer some help/advice.

My son is 6 (will be 7 next month) and in first grade. His first grade teacher has been complaining since September that he is disruptive, makes noises with his mouth, taps his feet and pencil constantly which disrupts the other kids, talks when he should be quiet, tries to make the other kids laugh, crawls under ...

Hi everyone, my 11 year old son has been diagnosed with ADHD and ODD. He takes Strattera daily for this. I am divorced from his father, but he sees him twice a week, as I think it's important to keep the relationship strong. I also have a 7 year old, who is an absolute angel. he is the most loving kindest kid you'll meet.

Anyway, my 11yo can be a Jeckly and Hyde. When he's ...

Alright, this is going to be a long one but please read it this is really critical to me and I could use any help that anyone could give out there to help fix this mess...

I need help. I've had ODD from as early as 2nd grade as far as I can remember. At first it may have been a bit of a problem because I was opposing things for the sake of opposing ...

if you oppose Obama bombing brown people you are mentally ill? I know certain people love this "new" illness right now, but what will they say if a GOP win the WH next time? If you oppose over taxation you get locked up? I guess I better get ready.

Yeah, Cade here. So, opposing authority is a mental disorder? 'Cause I really don't think so. I hate authority, because authority has never done anything good for me. I hate the government, because it's corrupt.

I probably shouldn't get into politics, because that could offend some people. But, again, I don't think it's bad to dislike authority, when authority deserves to be disliked.
