Ok any opinons from parents non parents providers does not matter.?

ok first off...ODD is oppositional defiant disorder

If I was in this situation I would contact the local Child Protective Service office... they have services to offer families who are struggling to meet the needs of a child. They will not take the child from you. They will help you connect with the needed services. I would also discuss this with his prescribing psychiatrist and his pediatrician. Since he is 5 I'm going to assume he will be starting school this year? I would be proactive and call the school and make them aware of the situation so that you can get him tested as soon as possible for special education services for his behavior.

Good Luck that is a tough situation to be in. I would continue with the structure and follow through with punishments consistently. It may take years but eventually he will begin to respond to it.

It could honestly be any number of things. ADHD, bipolar, autism, even the medication. If it is bipolar does the detroamphetamine work for that as well or is it specifically formulated for ADHD? As for some some other discipline efforts that could work, a psychologist I know recommended things such as washing walls, base boards,etc. I would also check out some of those websites that I saw in another reply. They could be a great help. I also wonder if maybe online or the local library could give you access to the psychological manual. There may be a newer version but the last one I saw was the DSM-IV, although I'm certain the psychologist has a copy. This book provides a good guideline for what "symptoms" go along with what disorders. Good Luck.

First of all Bipolar Disorder is very rare in children that young....I was told this by countless specialist, as I am bipolar. I doubt this child is bipolar, I didn`t really become symptomatic until my late teens. As far as his oppositional behaviour is concern, has he ever been abused or taken away from his primary caregiver?? Has he been neglected?Has he been adopted, or spent some time in foster care?? He sounds like a RAD child to me. He might have an attachment disorder. Look it up, ( google it). This boys behaviours sounds a lot like these.

Have any of your medical professionals considers Aspergers??

I have to say, if you are using all these discplines consistently and are still at a dead end, then your medical professionals should be helping you out with ideas.

Detroamphetamine is a medicinal form of speed - if your child is still behaving in a hyperactive way then I'd say this medication is making it worse not better.

Have you had allergy tests done on your child? This may be food allergies - I know it sounds silly, but I have known a couple of children who were WAY out of control, and when they had their diets changed it was like turning a switch on! totally different children.

Apart from that I'm all out of ideas! I really do wish you luck and hope that you find some answers.

A change in meds may be what is needed. Not all meds suit all kids and you have to trial them to see which suits the child best. The trouble is also that ADHD medication can make ODD worse. A change in medications is probably worth a try at this ppoint and I have put in a link to a book that is designed for kids like this. Friends have used it with success (there kids have ADHD and one ODD)

First of all, given that both parents are bipolar, chances are, much of this is because the child is also bipolar. It shouldn't take rocket science to figure that out, but at most of the links, there are comments that doctors just ignore the parental information about bipolar in the family. Unfortunately, most bipolar medications are not approved for children. Heck, they aren't even all that effective for adults (my sister is bipolar).

My sister's problems didn't become severe until she was in college, although she had indications of it earlier. Contact your state's children's hospital and talk to the psychiatric dept. If you get no direction there,

the project right it truly is that there is not any longer in basic terms one "e book" that it truly is person-friendly to pick to adhere to or no longer. there are various reviews, various analyze, new analyze that has supplanted older analyze. no longer all pediatricians follow the AAP regulations - no longer all pediatricians agree on many subject matters. I completely disagree with the total "i'm gunna do what i favor, do not favor no well being practitioner to inform me a thanks to develop my babby attitude" as a lot as I disagree with every person who thinks that because it truly is written someplace or a well being practitioner suggested so, it ought to straight away be genuine. yet there's a large difference between doing all of your own analyze, reading a form of reviews and data and forming your own reviews as against in basic terms following your "gut." My gut don't have an M.D., my gut hasn't ever raised a baby in the previous and my gut replaced into the only which has informed me, at cases, to finish somewhat very stupid issues ("you may continuously stop smoking once you're previous" and so on.) So I do study books - no longer "the" e book, yet a large decision of books. and then I enable my reason besides to my instinct, practise guide me.

Spare the rod ,spoil the child...tell the parents to spank the child... on the butt only ...any thing else is child abuse.
