[QUOTE="totoro, post: 117808, member: 3155"] Hi- As far as my daughter, K her diagnosis is Mood Disorder-not otherwise specified (Bipolar Spectrum) Her psychiatrist gave her that because for one she did not like the Bipolar-not otherwise specified diagnosis... and K was only 5 at the time, she felt with our history, symptoms etc she was most likely BiPolar (BP) but would need more time and puberty to really see "what type of Bipolar" she turned out to be... the DSM doesn't really have guidelines for children, even though your son is older maybe the doctor wants to watch to see how he progresses, before diagnosis'ing him with a definite BiPolar (BP) diagnosis? My daughter cycles so much, that she doesn't really fit the adult criteria... so we wait, most of it is because of insurance!!! YEAH!!! They are revising the DSM in 2012... so we will see??? [/QUOTE]
