[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 48763, member: 2423"] I recently had the opportunity to speak with a child psychiatrist who researches bipolar disorder at NIMH in Bethesda, MD. He said he thinks some child psychiatrists are diagnosing bipolar disorder when it's actually something else. Raging is not synonymous with BiPolar (BP). It can occur with anxiety, depression, Autism Spectrum Disorders, etc. He did say that when a child like my son has a prolonged intense manic reaction to an SSRI antidepressant, he treats for bipolar disorder. But the "forever" diagnosis is not made until the child gets to the other side of puberty. [/QUOTE]
