Oppositional defiance disorder is something one grows out of unlike Bipolar disorder which is permanent. Bipolar disorder is accompanied by mood swings being on top of the world one moments and in despair the next and these moods can last for weeks without signs of improvement. There are other symptoms as well that can help a parent distinguish whether or that is the case. Bipolar disorder is very difficult to live with and should be diagnosed as soon as possible.

How do you deal with a child that has oppositional defiance disorder when other children in same family are not affected?
Great question! Oppositional defiance is a medical condition that can usually be corrected with behavior management. In extreme cases doctors can prescribe drugs to control a child's behavior. When one child is oppositional and your other children are not it can be difficult however spending "alone" time with each child helps, knowing the difference between when your oppositional child is being oppositional and when they are misbehaving. Having consistency for punishment throughout the household. Not treating the ODD as a disorder but a way of life helps too. When one child in the family has ODD it affects the whole family and therefore the whole family needs to work on behaviour modification and adjusting their lives to know what to expect and what role they play when there is an episode that occurs.
