[QUOTE="totoro, post: 112297, member: 3155"] Our 1st psychiatrist from Chicago who is helping rewrite the next DSM and is on the board of CABF felt K was no doubt BiPolar (BP) but because of the DSM criteria put down Mood Disorder-not otherwise specified and (Bipolar Spectrum) she was not a fan of the BiPolar (BP)-not otherwise specified diagnosis... We are part of a study with the Papolos' right now and I was talking to his ast. about how people think his questionaires are too easy to diagnosis BiPolar (BP) for people... we were both in agreement the we all believe if you truly want your child to "have" something you can mark the boxes anyway you see fit... If your child is truly having severe issues there is no question when you are answering those questions, especially on the JBRF site. Likewise on the the Autism ones... if you are having to sit and think about it for a LONG time... I think the answer is NO. His asst agreed, and felt the questions were not for self diagnosis... but for taking to your doctor... if red flags came up. I think one of the problems is people look for easy ways out, (not here necassarily) they rush to look for a problem before trying any modifications... which is sad for those of us with kids with real issues. Some psychiatristS will never give a BiPolar (BP) diagnosis to a young kid... it is pretty unheard of. They all "know" K is BiPolar (BP) but will not officially diagnosis her with it until she shows her true BiPolar (BP)... (BiPolar (BP)-I, BiPolar (BP)-II etc...) Right now she is an ultra, ultra rapid cycler in a mixed state!!!! Most wait until PUBERTY!!! YIKES!!!! [/QUOTE]
