[QUOTE="klmno, post: 112247, member: 3699"] I should clarify more on what the pediat. said- she said that difficult child doesn't meet criteria for asthma diagnosis right nnow, but that doesn't mean he still doesn't have that tendency and she pointed out how I still avoid the combination of things that triggered the wheezing, ever since I figured out what it was and that still, when he's older (like 50+) he could be prone to emphazema(sp) or other breathing related problems, even full blown asthma again. She predicted the same regarding bipolar- he might find ways to manage (prevent mania and sever depression) without medications at some point but would probably still need to watch for signs that can trigger cycling and know (and be willing) to go to a therapist at first sign. I'd like to ppoint out, it's not a lifelong bipolar diagnosis that petrifies me- a lot of functional people have and have had BiPolar (BP), as you all know. It's unmanaged BiPolar (BP) that petrifies me. evaluation team was from Mood Disorders Clinic/Virginia Treatment Center for Children (VTCC), which is listed in The BiPolar (BP) Child book and I have read is only one of 17 (or something like that) in the US most qualified to diagnosis and distinguish between mood disorders. The psychiatrist on the team was the director there and also Chief of Child Psychiatry at Medical College of Virginia, which VTCC is a part of. She also knows the regular psychiatrist (Child & Adol. psychiatric). I was more afraid she would diagnosis BiPolar (BP) too quickly, but he already had that diagnosis so I was very happy that she didn't just confirm it, yet seemed to be much more focused on going back and getting treatment for initial problems to stop the cycling and said she thought there was a good chance, in his case, of this being successful.
