[QUOTE="HaoZi, post: 393307"] Pediatric bipolar is very different from "typical" (adult) bipolar, and it presents very differently, too. They're also more likely to be rapid cycling or even ultra rapid cycling. While adult onset bipolar they tend to cycle 1-4 times a year, it's not uncommon for child onset to cycle numerous times a day. This can present as anger, hyperness, and other symptoms that look like ADHD, ODD, etc. Most difficult children that I've seen here are multi-diagnosis, because if they were easy to diagnosis and treat we wouldn't be here, right? Get the full evaluation and find out everything that is going on so you can get him all the help him needs and get everyone working with him on the same page. [/QUOTE]
