[QUOTE="Alisonlg, post: 54274, member: 2894"] Well, I still haven't really gotten the diagnosis's yet. I FINALLY got the discharge summary from M's FIRST psychiatric hospital admit back in March and it has "ODD, rule out ADHD, rule out learning disabilities" as his discharge diagnosis. Then, his admit diagnosis on his THIRD psychiatric hospital admit was "ODD, Intermittant Explosive Disorder, rule out BiPolar (BP)," and there was something else, but it was given to me verbally and we were interrupted, so I didn't get it all. So, I was trying to figure out if the psychiatrist meant with the rule out that he thought M definately wasn't BiPolar (BP) or it meant that he was considering the diagnosis. The SW was trying to explain what a rule out meant to me, but like I mentioned, we were interrupted and then our meeting ended. She was basically saying, "You don't want to pin a label like BiPolar (BP) on a kid his age..." and that was that. [/QUOTE]
