News of Oppositional Defiant Disorder Forum

My son is ten and I have tried everything to help this child, you name it, he has taken it. Agressive behavior, throws things at me, only happy when getting his way. Don't say no to this boy, he will throw a fit. We are now taking him to see Dr. Stephanie Cave in Baton Rouge and going the holistic route. Has anyone done this and did it help?

I have a daughter who has always been "difficult" & "stubborn"
At times, openly resentful, with a lot of hurt & anger. It's like she was born that way. Never doing what she's told & rebelling against every form of "authority figure" in her life.

I read the diagnostic criteria for this disorder & it fits her to a tee. She's 18 yrs old now & it's getting worse.

Does anyone know of a forum for the kids with this? I mean, my son has been to countless therapists, and won't say a WORD!! maybe he would on a forum, you know? get it out, cuz these people never see you, and they could see that there's other kids out there going through this too.

My son was diagnosed as ODD when he was around 8, he is now 14, and a handle to deal with. Granted we had a rough life my partner at that time was very controlling, and blamed him for everything. But most of what he was blamed for he did. Now, he still wants to hold that relationship over my head, and we've been out of there for 2 years now. He lies to me, ...

Is there anyone out there who can help me with ODD. Is it true that there is really nothing out there that can help. Medicines are too risky, because they can make things worse.

Does anyone have an older son or daughter from the ODD child. If so, please tell me what can be done to stop them from hitting and beating up the older one.

I wrote in earlier about my granddaughter hitting her ...

I have a granddaughter who has ODD. The problem is that my daughter doesn't allow me to correct her daughter. I can't do anything to upset my granddaughter. I've done my own research on ODD, because my daughter doesn't want me and my wife to go to any of the child psychiatrist meetings.

Hi. I'm a mother of a 7 year old boy. Husband and I spent two hours fighting with our son over homework. I spent an hour and half after school with him today to get him caught up on his classwork.
