I recently came across an article here that discusses a new diagnosis for children with behavior disorders. It is called Temper Dysregulation Disorder. This fits my daughter to a T. I was told by a psychologist she had ODD...but I think she really had TDD. He also suggested that her behavior...she's 6..might be an early manifestation of bipolar disorder. I felt so bad after he said that...I know the genetic tendency is there but I was just hoping.... This new category gives me some hope. She did get a lot better with therapy and consistent parenting. I just didn't want her to have a diagnosis of BP so early in life. God knows the stigma I face now.
