[QUOTE="klmno, post: 155803, member: 3699"] Well, I will say that I can't be 100% sure that difficult child has BiPolar (BP). But, he does have something like mania- it appears to be full blown mania- and depressive and stable periods. I think- although I am not a professional- that treating these symptoms as if it is BiPolar (BP), then treating any underlying issues, is probably the right way to go. If the cycling goes away that is wonderful. I guess if it doesn't go away and nothing surfaces to indicate a different diagnosis, then it will be agreed upon that it is true BiPolar (BP). This has what has been presented to me by psychiatrists, but if this isn't consistent with what others have heard, I would love to know. The psychiatrist isn't at the top of my confidence list right now. [/QUOTE]
