About Us: Therapy for Elders Oppositional Defiance Disorder (2010 – Present)

Our Journey

Therapy for Elders Oppositional Defiance Disorder (TEDOD) was founded in 2010 with a vision to shed light on and combat the often-misunderstood challenge of oppositional defiance disorder in elderly individuals. The idea emerged from a gap in accessible, reliable information regarding this specific therapeutic approach tailored to seniors.

Over the years, our website has grown from a small online resource to a comprehensive platform dedicated to providing unbiased and accurate insights into therapy for elders with ODD. We’ve celebrated numerous milestones, including:

  • 2012: Launch of our initial blog series on successful treatment strategies.
  • 2015: Collaboration with renowned geriatric psychologists, expanding our expert network.
  • 2017: Introduction of a user-interactive forum for shared experiences and support.
  • 2019: Achieving over 5 million page views, solidifying our position as a trusted source.

Our Purpose and Mission

TEDOD is committed to empowering caregivers, family members, and professionals by offering valuable resources, practical guidance, and evidence-based information on ODD in the elderly. We aim to:

  • Bridge the information gap by providing accessible knowledge about ODD treatment options.
  • Foster understanding and reduce stigma associated with behavioral disorders in seniors.
  • Offer a supportive community where individuals can share experiences, strategies, and hope.
  • Advocate for evidence-based practices and promote personalized therapy approaches.
