[QUOTE="totoro, post: 112597, member: 3155"] I wasn't saying you could self diagnosis, and give yourself and actual diagnosis, but that you could sway the diagnosis... to look like your child was BiPolar (BP)... and take it to the pediatrician or whoever, if a parent wanted to. It has been obviously done many times before. I wasn't saying people on the board here. But that was the complaint about the Papalos' questionaire, that people were answering it and not being "honest" and their kids were looking BiPolar (BP) when they were maybe just having tantrums or needed some behavior mods and parenting mods... But you could do that with any questionaire... really. I would not feel so strongly about K being BiPolar (BP) if I did not have such a strong genetic link and wasn't myself BiPolar (BP) and my Mom and many family members... My mom's brother... My brother most likely... My Father has many issues... my little brother... my husband side of the family has issues... Because of her severity at such a young age... it is pretty clear. If someone said N is, I would be very hesitant to accept that... She has issues but not so clear cut. There is nothing wrong in my mind with waiting for the diagnosis, until she hits puberty... as long as someone is treating her. Or until the DSM gets re-evaluated. She has a diagnosis... that will cover her in school or if she gets in trouble and for the medications. That is all I care about. [/QUOTE]
