[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 557917, member: 3419"] Sounds like something my son would have, my son is on 150 mg of lithium and 800 and up seems to be the "normal" dose for bipolar, and I really don't care what it's called, as long as we can get interventions and medications! I will look up that diagnosis and find out why someone thought it was important to separate it out. I mean, I see that you explained that it is a brain disorder and not a chemical imbalance, but I don't know how a dr would make a definitive diagnosis with-o fMRIs etc. and few parents would want to go through that. I can see why you'd be surprised and unnerved. Bottom line: do you like the new dr and is this going to get you anywhere? [/QUOTE]
