[QUOTE="totoro, post: 243132, member: 3155"] I hate the feeling like you are trying to prove something is wrong with your child. Like your are coming up with excuses for him not acting SO bad right at the moment. If they knew enough though they would realize by looking at the poor kids records that he was not in his right mind. He is on medications! They have to be helping a bit! He could be honeymooning! And Mood-Disorders do have cycling! He could be OK for a bit and then lose it! Why should you have to prove all of these things? I just hate that. Maybe in a week he will fall apart. Assessing someone with a Mood-Disorder truly takes time. A psychiatrist told me once that he could tell if I had BiPolar (BP) just be looking at me! I told him he was full of it! This was K's psychiatrist. I was like I am not cycling right now. Plus I am on some pretty good medications, a'hole. It took K a full year before she showed her true colors to her therapist. Do they not read the parts about the kids *holding it together* until they are in their safe place? Maybe he does not have BiPolar (BP)? Who knows? Is it over diagnosis'd? Who knows, I guess if your kid is mis-diagnosis'd you may feel that way. I don't. You could say ADHD, Autism all of them are over diagnosis'd. In your case I think he just needs his symptoms treated at this point. He needs support. Some of our kids our classic cases of their diagnosis some fall in the shadows of them and are very hard to diagnosis. So it might not even be a mis-diagnosis it may just be very difficult. Some of our kids may not even be able to be diagnosis'd until they level out in their teens. You never know what you will end up with. He most likely is not Schizophrenic. K hallucinates, but she is not, lots of kids with BiPolar (BP) do. It is not a sign of Schizophrenia, she does not lose touch with reality when she is, she is not lost the Hallucination. She is just seeing things or hearing. She is still aware of reality. When she is delusional that is different. Same as her grandiosity. The Schizophrenic person is in that alternative world, they are part of their hallucination. They become part of it, it is their reality. Hang in their, you are doing a good thing for your son. Even though K's 5 week psychiatric hospital was not good from a medical standpoint, it helped me realize what she needed and didn't need. [/QUOTE]
