Hello, my name is Danielle. I am the Group Leader of a new group on MDJ. The group is called...Oppositional Defiant Disorder aka ODD. I am so excited to get this group up and rolling. http://www.mdjunction.com/oppositional-defiant-disorder Some of you are probably wondering..."What is ODD?". ODD is a psychiatric disorder affecting behavior. Three characteristics of the child who has ODD are: aggression, defiance and the constant need to irritate others. When documenting the child's behavior; characteristics or behavior patterns should be in place for at least 6 months. The behaviors will have a negative impact on social and academic functioning. It is important to look for the following characteristics: * The child often loses his/her temper * The child is defiant and doesn't obey rules/routines * The child argues often with adults and peers * The child seems to go out of his/her way to annoy others in very bothersome ways * The child is often lacking accountability and blames others for inappropriate behaviors * The child often seems angry, spiteful and vindictive * The child is often prone to tantrums and will be non-compliant It is important to exercise caution when reading lists of characteristics, remember that most children will exhibit many of the characteristics listed, key to determining ODD is the frequency of the characteristics. This was in Reference to: http://specialed.about.com/od/behavioremotional/a/odd.htm So, if you feel as if you have a child with these symptoms...or if you know that you do. Feel free to come join our group. You can also PM if you have further questions. I am excited and eager to for the group to grow and grow. [/url Bipolar,BPD, Depression, Hypothyroid, Fibromyalgia
