[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 231488, member: 3444"] Our psychiatrist also will only "officially" give the Mood Disorder-not otherwise specified to our difficult child 2 until he gets on the other side of puberty. That's not to say that in private he won't concede that my difficult child 2 has all the markings of Early Onset Bi-Polar (EOBP). He explained to me that you cannot know for sure how things will play out until they are older and whether or not a BiPolar (BP) diagnosis will stick. He also said that the earlier you treat the symptoms with medication, the better chance you have of preventing the disorder from becoming a full-blown case. So perhaps instead of developing BiPolar (BP) I, they only develop BiPolar (BP) II, or instead of BPII, it is reduced to Cyclothymia, etc. What matters most is that you are being proactive in getting your child the supports needed, whether that's through medication, therapy, school services, or a combination of those things! You're doing a great job :D [/QUOTE]
