There is currently a recognized syndrome known as oppositional defiant disorder, but some children also display severe aggression and negative moods that go beyond mere stubbornness, according to Shaffer.
Such children are often tagged as having juvenile bipolar disorder, but research has shown that the label is often inappropriate, since they usually do not qualify for a bipolar disorder diagnosis when they reach adulthood, though they remain dysfunctional.
More often, these children are diagnosed as depressed when they become adults.
That describes my daughter. Except that, out of the house she would win any Miss. Congeality contest. She is on Paxil CR for OCD and Abilify to make her be just that bit nicer.
I do hope Depression doesn't follow as the study says it does.
