My son was 2 when they gave him the dx of ODD. They wanted to start some meds but we refused and I became a stay-at-home mom. At 4 he got dx'd ADHD. He was in pre-school and we decided to try some ADHD stimulants. Of course they mad him way worse. Then at 5 1/2 he was dx'd bipolar. Then we started mood stabilizers and antiphycotics.
We hated "drugging" him but when we started seeing the kid he could be and how much happier he was, it was worth it.
