[QUOTE="Needsupport, post: 184423, member: 5730"] I'm still trying to learn the abbreviations so please bear with me. :happy: At my son's psychiatrist appointment yest he did mention that we will watch & be aware of the symptoms of bi-polar because he is starting to show some of them. I understood going into this that diagnosing & treatment would not be easy, but I wasn't prepared for the feeling of frustration & helplessness. I'm glad that I found this place where you all understand! And I'm lucky in that I have a great group of doctors that I trust because I've heard horror stories about that as well. I found the school my son was going to because their answer was to send him to a "troubled" kids school. I fought that & they finally found a school where the teacher is specially trained for these types of children & her goal is get them mainstreamed again. She tried to teach them ways to cope with their feelings & in the meantime brings them back up academically. She's been such a Godsend to us. I wish that my husband was one of those that went looking for answers. He sat back & let me do all the arguing with the school, finding the doctors, deciding on medication, all of it with no support. He'd tell me that nothing was wrong with-our son, that he was just being a normal boy, that he just needed to be disciplined better (like you said!). [/QUOTE]
