[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 117763, member: 1550"] I'm not sure what your doctor means specifically, but he does mean he has a mood disorder. My own psychiatrist told me that pretty soon all mood disorders were probably going to be called Mood Disorder Spectrum. Bipolar in kids isn't in the DSM yet so, for insurance purposes, often if a doctor thinks a child is bipolar, he puts down Mood Disorder not otherwise specified, which IS in the DSM. Ask your doctor for clarification. When my son was misdiagnosed with bipolar, his diagnosis on the forms were always "Mood Disorder not otherwise specified." [/QUOTE]
