[QUOTE="AllStressedOut, post: 83807, member: 3837"] Don't worry about anyone on here thinking your child is just a spoiled brat seeking attention. We know how it feels to be on the receiving end of that comment. It hurts to have someone imply it is your fault your child is acting this way. We all know better. My middle difficult child answered questions the psychiatrist asked in the manner he thought the psychiatrist wanted to hear. He said yes when asked if he was hearing voices and answered yes to all the questions the psychiatrist asked. Those answers weren't honest answers, he just didn't know what the guy wanted and wanted to give him what he thought he wanted. I think this is why the psychiatrist thinks he is bipolar. I think he is ADHD with situational depression. What I mean by situational is that he gets sad when sad things happen, but otherwise he is happy. I think that is perfectly normal and that it doesn't warrant BiPolar (BP) medications. Good luck with the appointment today. I hope this psychiatrist listens to you. I know how important it is to have your side heard. [/QUOTE]
