[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 340714, member: 1514"] Well from what I take from reading this is just opposite. I think they are trying to clear up the fact that everyone has been trying to say that irritability and anger is mania in kids. They want to give another disorder so that if the kid is only exhibiting the irritability and anger but doesnt have the hypomania then they can be dxd with another severe disorder but not bipolar. They arent taking bipolar off the table for kids. This could also be why some kids react to certain treatments with only a AP or with a SSRI when a truly BiPolar (BP) kid would go ape. Or would not being able to maintain at all. [/QUOTE]
