[QUOTE="miles2go, post: 307545, member: 6374"] My 8 y.o. son was first diagnosed with ADHD, but now we are quite sure of the BiPolar (BP) diagnosis. AFAIK, BiPolar (BP) also has difficulty with focusing on tasks and impulse control (as the prefrontal cortex gets damaged), so when I see these symptoms I attribute them to BiPolar (BP) not to another diagnosis. He's on Abilify. Our psychiatrist suggested Strattera or Clonidine, but I ve been reluctant to try either. Do you find that the lack of focus and poor impulse control come in phases, like bipolar phases do? [/QUOTE]
