[QUOTE="HaoZi, post: 508149"] With children diagnosis'ing between unipolar and bipolar can be difficult because children can be naturally bouncy and that can look like mania without being mania. This doesn't mean a child can't be bipolar, it doesn't mean bipolar medications won't help, either. Full testing is the best way to go, get a doctor with an open mind and a lot of experience. While the doctor who tested mine for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) says he thinks mine is unipolar rather than bipolar (naturally bouncy personality), that because the medications are helping and only covered with a bipolar diagnosis, to not rock that boat and challenge the other doctor on that (she sees a different doctor for her medications, etc). When/if the medications stop working, worry about it then. [/QUOTE]
