What is the difference between ADHD and ODD?

ADHD 4 Comments »

Does any one know the differences between the two? I have a 5 yr old that was diagnosed with ADHD and the pills are making him act more high then anything. He is only on 10mg and I was told by another mom at soccer practice a little about ODD (Oppositional Defiant Disorder). She said that one of her kids has it but didn’t say much about it.

Davina, ADHD Mom

ADHD 23 Comments »

Do you feel different than most others adults? Maybe you have ADHD as an adult.

Davina Beacham was already a successful artist, and mother of two boys, when she was diagnosed with Adult ADHD. She discovered this after both her boys were diagnosed with ADHD, and realized that she had similar symptoms. The realization brought on many challenges, but also a deeper appreciation of herself and her sons.
