[QUOTE="klmno, post: 289984, member: 3699"] Thanks, Terry! He was started on MS's to begin with after the 1 1/2 hr crime spree that led to the suspended sentence, which occurred 10 days after doubling a dosage of prozac and 3 days after the sd called telling me to come and pick him up because they were putting him on a long term suspension for being uncontrollable. He was on an IEP for ED so they had no right to do that. Anyway, after feeling so much pressure from GAL and others, I pressured psychiatrist to cut his evaluation shorter than he wanted and do something. He diagnosis'd him as BiPolar (BP) and started him on MS's. He had started with a diagnosis of depression with a rule out for BiPolar (BP) by a different psychiatrist, but months later he was evaluation'd by a specialist in pediatric mood disorders who did not think he was BiPolar (BP) and neither did the psychiatrist at the last psychiatric hospital- at least neither of them were ready to put that label on him just yet. FWIW, difficult child was still unstable every late winter/early spring, and secondarily in the fall, even on various MS's and every period of instability started with major signs of depression. I know most here already know this history, I just thought I'd throw it out as a reminder and for any newbies. [/QUOTE]
