[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 99738, member: 1550"] Oops. As for the "normal" way of diagnosing bipolar, well, I am told I have it. I think I do have a mood disorder, a serious one, but I don't get completely manic. However, I get so depressed I can't function and I also get "high." medications have kept me in great control for years. How did it get diagnosed? Guesswork. Doctors listened to my symptoms and guessed. That's how they diagnose all disorders. However, while bipolar made sense for ME as I was highly suicidal and non-functional with the switching moods, my son's hyperness and meltdown had nothing to do with bipolar--he never seemed moody to me. If something feels wrong in your gut, check it out again. It's easy for our professionals to make mistakes. [/QUOTE]
