[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 30463, member: 84"] This is such a tragedy, on many levels. [img]:sad:[/img] I wonder how you can accurately diagnosis bipolar in a 2 yr old? It would be tough in a 4 yr old depending on symptoms and the child's ability to communicate ect. I know the diagnosis of ADD/ADHD is a popular one. And I've known kids that I've wondered if they truely had it or were just active kids. But I've never run across psychiatrists who were anxious to diagnosis bipolar (family hx or not) in young children unless symptoms were outstanding. Heck most don't believe you can diagnosis it in children still. Still, the diagnosis itself isn't the issue. Neither is medicating a child who needs it. The issue is if the parents increased the child's medications of their own accord, resulting in her daath. Such a thing can be done with other medications too, not just those prescribed for mental illness. [/QUOTE]
