[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 49989, member: 1514"] SRL...you are looking at pre-schoolers on the early childhood board. You also see many kids from other countries which use the term Conduct Disorder as a catch all phrase. I have read..and I may be wrong...but the UK and Canada still use that term as an umbrella term to cover a spectrum of disorders that we would call all these other terms in the US. I would seriously question a 3 year old having the capacity to be CD. Obviously how would a child of that age even get out to do some of the criteria? It would be difficult for one so young to be robbing a person or staying out all night or even being truant. Im not saying that ALL kids are CD. Im saying that we shouldnt tell a parent who has come here with an older child who has been through the mill that their psychiatrist is wrong! That their kid cannot have CD. That it doesnt exist. As far as MWM and I go, we are going to have to agree to disagree on this and many subjects. I firmly believe that medication does much good but so does therapy. I also believe that Borderline is a diagnosis completely separate and distinct unto itself from bipolar. Met too many of them! There are distinct diagnostic criteria for each. And do trust me, if you have ever been tangled up with a severe borderline you wouldnt think they were bipolar. [/QUOTE]
