Is this a bad, bad psychiatrist? Or should I just take the drugs and run?

[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 243903, member: 1550"] Ok, I just reread your post. If your father was a drug addict and committed suicide those are actually big red flags for bipolar disorder. Bipolar has a huge suicide and substance abuse rate. I would definitely look beyond just ADHD if this were my child. The Connors Scale doesn't cover a ton of other disorders that co-exist or mimic ADHD. And stimulants can make some kids worse, not better, if the problem is really NOT ADHD, but a mimicker. JMO :) [/QUOTE]
