[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 142272, member: 1550"] As one whose child was diagnosed with bipolar and didn't have it (although I can see why the Psychiatrist thought he did at the time) I'm with Fran. Doctors are probably going slowly with this diagnosis. as it is suddenly very popular and it is not always right. Even the best psychiatrist can be wrong. I'd want to look at everything too, and for that I'd want a NeuroPsychologist as well as another Psychiatrist. More than one thing can be going on...or something you haven't thought of yet. All the childhood disorders tend to overlap with symptoms, so it can be hard to nail it. In hindsight, I wish I'd had more patience and had taken him to Neuropsychs before I loaded him up on bipolar medications. If bipolar is in your family, the chances that your child has bipolar is higher, however there are other things that tend to go along with bipolar too. I wish you luck...I know--TRUST me I know...how hard it is and how frustrating. [/QUOTE]
