[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 697133, member: 1963"] ADHD is a "go to" diagnosis, especially in boys. I'm not a boy, but when I went back to seeking help from psychiatrists, I was initially diagnosed as having ADHD and severe depression. It wasn't until I got involved in the family study that I was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and Bipolar. Before that, an attempt had been made to treat me with stims, strattera, and several antidepressants. I was one hypomanic hot mess by the time I was correctly diagnosed and place on the proper medications. I also have permanent damage from being hypomanic/manic for so many years. [/QUOTE]
