[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 104613, member: 1550"] Unfortunately, my own son was misdiagnosed twice and put on inappropriate medication. I strongly suggest a fresh evaluation from a totally different Psychiatrist. I wouldn't tell him his old diagnosis. Let him decide. Bipolar IS hereditary and putting a possibly BiPolar (BP) kid on stimulants/STraterra/Zoloft/any antidepressant can make him worse. You may also want to visit a neuropsychologist. They do intensive evaluations. How was his early development? Speech? Eye contact? Cuddling? His appropriateness with peers? Good luck! PS--Janet, if you're "elderly", I'm dead [img]:wink:[/img] [/QUOTE]
