[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 186559, member: 3626"] It's possible. Mental health is not an exact science -- there is always some guesswork involved. Add to that the knowledge and prejudices each diagnostician has and it is easy to goof. On top of that, Early Onset Bi-Polar (EOBP), ADD, Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified all have similiar symptoms. Makes it difficult to diagnosis, especially in younger patients. As kids age, it becomes a little easier to diagnosis. Of course, none of that helps us parents. We watch our children go through medication trials, behavior mod, etc. and then find out the entire treatment plan was dead wrong and have to start all over again. So painful and frustrating.
