[QUOTE="brandyf, post: 99707, member: 4110"] it wasnt a diagnosis officially. it was just him mentioning that he showed classic signs of bipolar just giving history. the appointment was 1 hour and 30 minutes. testing?? no, unless the pictures my son drew, and the card games they were doing told him something. i filled out an hours worth of paperwork. about 1.5 inches thick of questions. i brought my binder of info on difficult child which starts at 8 months old and goes until now, he did review it. in advance, we spoke over the phone in making the appointment and told him about his suspensions, ODD behaviors, us seeing child psychologists and so on. i did sign a release for him to obtain all teh info from both the child psychiatric and pediatrician. he made sure to tell me it seems bipolar, and that i would get a full report from him in a couple of weeks. he then said if that is what he comes to the conclusion of, he would refer us to psychiatry (which we have already been referred by our child psychiatric, because she agrees as well)...so we are on our way to medications. i am wondering if this is the classic route ppl take to find out if its bipolar.
