[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 530927, member: 1514"] Terry, this is exactly why Cory's diagnosis has been changed now as an adult. Now that they have included the TDD in the DSM-V, it is obvious that he has/had TDD instead of Bipolar 1 because he really never had true manic episodes. He did have periodic depressive episodes that resulted in rages and very poor impulse control which we know now they should have never removed his ADHD label. I failed miserably with him. I listened to therapists who really knew nothing. They gave horrible advice and it is effecting his life badly. Now me? I am a living example of early onset bipolar. I have no doubt that I have had bipolar since I was a toddler. I started running away from home at like 4 years old. I wanted to "kill" someone when I was six and tried by pouring pool water into their cup. I thought that would hurt them. Then I ran away again. Most pictures of me as a kid dont have a smile in them. [/QUOTE]
