[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 143066, member: 1550"] I want to make this very clear. There is no way to rule out bipolar disorder by a SPECT test or anything. In fact, with psychiatry and neurological disorders you can only guess. Your doctor is guessing. These tests are very controversial and never have been picked up by mainstream psychiatry. If there is bipolar in the family, I think you need to look at it. Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) is unlikely to be the cause of everything and it sounds worse than ADHD. There is also something called alcohol spectrum disorder. It is not full blown Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) with the facial features, but it causes all sorts of behavioral and academic problems in alcohol exposed kids, and there is no way to detect it other than putting two and two together. This is the same for your son. These are inexact sciences, and anyone who tries to tell you they aren't is not somebody I'd feel comfortable with at all. I would want a second opinion. The psychiatrist you are seeing sounds kind of "different." Frankly, I'd want a more mainstream approach to diagnosing and treating my kids. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
