It feels good to be affirmed!

Just have to brag a minute...had a client come in severeal weeks ago who had been seen previously by a psychologist and diagnosised with bipolar. As I l istened to the mother talk, I didn't hear signs of that at all but kept thinking that it sounded more like oppositional defiant dissorder to me. I told the mother I wasn't a doctor but from her description, ODD seemed like a better diagnosis and suggested that she check it out with a psychatrist. Well, she did yesterday and came back today with her child and a diagnosis of ODD and medication to fit the diagnosis. I might not have passed that test the first time, but i ain't as dumb as that test makes me look either. I'm still enjoying working with my kids!
