[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 48761, member: 1550"] It's inherited and, like with most disorders, some professionals insist on adding a laundry list to the diagnosis, even if the core issue is really bipolar. It can turn into bipolar/ODD/anxiety disorder/ADHD/ABCD etc. when they are all really symptoms of bipolar. It's a pet peeve of mine. I'm not a fan of therapists because they not only confused me more, but often made me feel worse and guilty for my disorder and many talked to me in a condescending way. Psychiatrists diagnosed me right; psycologists seemed to loooooooove diagnoses and just tagged one on after another and I stopped believing them. I think therapy can actually make anyone worse if you get a bad therapist. I prefer cognitive behavioral therapy, if I have to go at all, but I prefer just to let the medications work. That's truly what did it for me. If a child or an adult can not control himself, I believe it's a disorder, not willful disobedience. Been there/done that. However, as with all disorders, bipolar can be a misdiagnosis and some doctors can overdiagnose it. If the treatment for BiPolar (BP) works, you know you have BiPolar (BP) [img]:smirk:[/img] JMO [/QUOTE]
