[QUOTE="JRC, post: 708688, member: 21147"] Raraavis, I am so sorry that your situation is so hard right now. Have you looked into weekend respite care for him so that you and your husband can get a break? I don't know in general where you live but if you google "weekend respite care children" and your area you may find some options. SWOT, from what I understand, that is exactly the reason for the newly classified condition DMDD--because doctors and parents are wigged out by diagnosing a child with such an impairing disorder as bipolar. Some doctors don't think it's possible to diagnosis bipolar in children. Others will diagnosis it, but provisionally because it's hard to tease out bipolar from other co-morbid diseases. This DMDD diagnosis is like a place holder until the child is older and they are sure. Sadly, I know from my own child's experience that children absolutely can have bipolar disorder. And no matter what you label it, the drug treatments are the same. [/QUOTE]
