Thank you so much for sharing your story. I also have a 13 year old who has brought me great concerns. I have also had to deal wth the the physical altercations and have even had things thrown at me. I struggled for a long time to decide to reach out for help. I myself am a social work and know of the stigma that is attached to people who have diagnois. I had no choice but to get her help. For now she has been diagnosis with ODD, and has been prescribed Ablify. Im really reluctant to have her start medication, but the behavior is so concerning that I am more open minded about it. Any feedback is helpful.View Thread
