[QUOTE="SRL, post: 125676, member: 701"] FWIW, I think there are any number of disorders that could have the same results, especially given the number of unsuccessful medication trials K has been through. The wrong medications can make a child more hyper...or more anxious...or more rageful...or...or....or. A undiagnosed/untreated child with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) can look BiPolar (BP). A parent just mentioned that mood disorders were missed in the initial assessment and they medicated for 4 years for ADHD with no avail, but when they medicated for mood disorders the inattentiveness dropped off. I've seen highly hyperactive children be able to engage for long periods of time provided they had high interest in the activity. Medications can greatly muddle the diagnostic picture, especially when there have been many and/or many with side effects. When answers are elusive, go back to the early developmental history and take a long, hard look at what was happening before the medications. [/QUOTE]
