[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 108046, member: 2423"] What other medications have been trialed? What was your difficult child's response to them? There is a lot of controversy over the BiPolar (BP) diagnosis these days. Many psychiatrists are reluctant to give the diagnosis, especially to young children. It is possible your difficult child doesn't have BiPolar (BP) but rather anxiety, depression or even a disorder along the autistic spectrum. But anytime you see "mood" symptoms (such as what you're describing), it bears paying attention to those rather than ADHD, which is a diagnosis of inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity. I strongly recommend asking for an evaluation by a neuropsychologist, which will provide you with thorough information on your difficult child's cognitive and psychological functioning. [/QUOTE]
