[QUOTE="Malika, post: 461638, member: 11227"] Just to find out (because I don't actually know!), I just did a little internet research on bipolar disorder in children. And apparently the symptoms are exactly like those of ADHD! The article I read did also say that children have intense emotional outbursts and uncontrollable, violent rages, comparable to emotional seizures. That would not be true of J, who has intense emotional outbursts but I couldn't call them uncontrollable or violent or like a seizure. But it is interesting. Also found a site that said there was a great deal of controversy about diagnosing small children with BiPolar (BP) and giving them anti-psychotic medicine and that it was largely an American phenomenon; British doctors do not diagnose it before the teen years. So, not straightforward... :) [/QUOTE]
