[QUOTE="oceans, post: 28266, member: 2687"] Alison- His first diagnosis was ADD/Depression. Then it was Mood Disorder, not otherwise specified, then it was Major Depressive Disorder. Now he is no longer depressed, and we are uncertain if he really has the ADD. They said that they cannot diagnose him right now becuase he does not fit clear diagnostic criteria. They said that it might be years before he does fit into a diagnoses. They are treating symptoms. They are treating his mood dysregulation which appears as mostly depression, his racing and opposing thoughts, and sensory issues. He will get an evaluation to rule out Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD). Right now, the medications that are working wonderfully are the mood stabilizer and the antipsychotic. Perhaps he is an emerging bipolar...time will tell.... It would be nice to have a clear diagnoses, but it is wonderful to be treating the symptoms and getting good results! It is wonderful to hear the Dr say that he is not really ODD after all...that the oppositional behaviors came from the mood disregulation and sensory issues. [/QUOTE]
