[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 190385"] It is interesting that it all depends on what the insurance companies will alow...right? Sad, but a part of our life. I have mixed feelings about my daughter getting a diagnosis early...mostly positive ones though. It did help...but sometimes I wish we didn't have the label or didn't let her hear the word so early on. by the way, I'm not sure if your child is too young to have a definitive diagnosis. However, better safe than sorry. IT is good that you know what to watch for. Sometimes I wished she was officially diagnosis'd ADD until age 18 and the doctor told us what it really was on the QT and of course, treated her for what was the reality. (Not sure that made sense...) It was only with medication and therapy that we saw improvements...we needed to treat early. But the stigma is difficult for everyone. I still struggle with the idea that kids with BiPolar (BP) behave "intentionally." I believe they strugglle significanly with their emotional liability. However, I also believe that just like others with disabilities, they have to learn how to cope with their difficulties and to seek ways to manage and be accountable for the management. They must also learn to ask for help. Certainly when they are young...they are entitled to some help from parents and teachers. But, this can't be abused. They are smart creatures and can learn how to manipulate those around them and of course, this needs to be avoided. Like with all great difficulties in life, great effort brings about improvement. Terri...I am so sorry that you've been through so much in the last several months. I know it is really a strain. Sending good thoughts and prayers...extra big time for Wednesday. [/QUOTE]
