[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 469384, member: 1550"] After my son was misdiagnosed with bipolar, I have come to believe that nobody really knows what bipolar looks like in kids or if it even really exists in kids...or how many kids diagnosed with childhood bipolar actually develop it in later years. Most countries do not diagnose childhood bipolar...I think it's better that way. For the life of me, when I look back, I have no idea why the psychiatrist thought my son had bipolar and, even worse, why I went along with it. He is eighteen now and has no moodswings at all. If anything, he is less moody than most people. I think the diagnosis is a bit trendy now in the US...and I'm starting to believe it is misdiagnosed even more often than ADHD. Now this is MY opinion only. But if you think it's not what your son has, then go with your mom gut. I do trust mom gut A LOT! Those medications for bipolar are VERY heavy duty, even for adults. My son was on most of them and I'm very sorry I ever let him go on them. [/QUOTE]
