[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 447547, member: 1991"] ADD & ADHD are generally just that. Other disorders in the early stages can look like ADD or ADHD, but they are already something else. in our family, the initial diagnosis was ADD/ADHD and then Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) in various forms was diagnosed, except for easy child 2/difficult child 2. whose diagnosis of ADD still stands alone. We think she's Aspie. In our family, nobody as a diagnosis of schizophrenia or bipolar, but we have plenty of kids (my kids plus nephews and nieces) who have been diagnosed ADHD. A couple also have Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) diagnoses. If you are concerned that your child is heading for a bipolar diagnosis or schizophrenia diagnosis, then dig deeper. And yes, in such cases the initial diagnosis can be ADD or ADHD - perhaps not a correct diagnosis, with hindsight. But schizophrenia does not develop from ADD or ADHD. It is a different condition.
