[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 653698, member: 11791"] Just my two cents... 1) They are NOT going to diagnose this kid with anything based on a letter from parents. Not even if both parents agreed. The medical system does NOT consider parent input very much when it comes to mental health issues. If the parents get anything out of that letter, it will be a referral for evaluation - which isn't a bad thing, but not what they want. 2) Doctors are very reluctant to diagnosis bi-polar in young kids. From when I hear and see, it's unusual to get it even in the middle teens - when there is more of a chance of a correct diagnosis. [/QUOTE]
