[QUOTE="Janna, post: 19647, member: 2737"] I think every single psychiatrist has a reason to do what they do, and obviously, no two are alike. Interesting, Dylan is clearly Bipolar. His current diagnosis is Bipolar, not otherwise specified, Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified, and ADHD. This, from a board certified MD psychiatrist. When we went across the hallway (same office, same practice) to see the PSYCHOLOGIST to discuss Wrap Around (wound up not going through with it anyway), he diagnosis'ed Dylan ADHD/ODD [img]:rofl:[/img] HUH? [img]:hammer:[/img] I'm not going to comment on the psychologist thing, but I think you get what I'm saying. There are still psychiatrist's who do not believe Bipolar exists in kids. There are some who really do think the antipsychotics are the best way. In all honesty, my psychiatrist tried it, too. We tried Risperdal first, in November of 2005 - it just made my son insane. I said in your other thread that I hoped you didn't find what I was saying offensive. I only mentioned the mood stabilizers to you because when I first came here, I didn't know what mood stabilizers were or what they did (and isn't that sad, when a PSYCHIATRIST gave my kid Depakote, and didn't tell me what it was LOL, pathetic). Obviously, no argument coming from me. You do what you feel is right and that's all you can do. You're right, every kid is different. Janna [/QUOTE]
