[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 293169, member: 2423"] Researchers at the National Institute of Mental Health in Bethesda, MD, report that other childhood disorders such as anxiety/Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) are often misdiagnosed as mania in a child. It is therefore very important that you have your child very carefully and thoroughly evaluated before settling on a diagnosis and treatment plan. Fran is right that the medications that treat Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) (ADs like Zoloft) can make kids with BiPolar (BP) worse if indeed it does turn out to be mania. In your situation, I'd recommend a neuropsychologist and a child psychiatrist to make certain your bases are covered. Neuropsychologists can be found at children's and university teaching hospitals.
