How do you treat obsessive defiant disorder?

Answer 1

O.d.d, is only part of an underlying other mental disorder. Meds can help, not spoiling the child and having everyone that is on board with helping you raise this child should all be on the same page as far as discipline. Whether it be "love and Logic", or "one two three magic", Or just plain military discipline. Which of course everyone and there mother has "appropriate methods" Including counselling, and meds. But be careful with the counseling, or therapist. Always ask them questions before deciding they are right for your child. My next move is going to be a corrections camp in Michigan that sounds very promising, and is reasonably priced. If anyone want to know above are the name of two very good books, as long as you can stick with the methods "consistently. Yuck!! I despise that word because of all the single moms and dads out there that work full time and have to rely on others, family members, friends and etc. How can you possibly stay consistent with all that!

Answer 2

Oppositional Defiant Disorder is typically treated with a combination of behavioral therapy, family therapy, and sometimes medication. Cognitive-behavioral therapy can help the individual learn strategies to manage their defiance, while family therapy can address family dynamics that may contribute to the behavior. Medication may be considered in some cases if there are co-existing conditions like ADHD or anxiety.
