[QUOTE="klmno, post: 261850, member: 3699"] I agree- my view from difficult child's experience (although I think there is a [I]chance[/I] that he is bipolar) is that 1) bad reactions to medications can automatically land a BPdx and 2) I've had people say that I MUST be BiPolar (BP) if anxiety and depression are issues with me and difficult child has a BiPolar (BP) diagnosis- as if there can't be a spectrum of mood disorders and like difficult child had no father's genes playing into this. As far as abilify- I have heard several horror stories- my son being one and another 14yo boy in detention who pulled a knife on his mom after a few days of taking abilify. ETA: I think the next one coming up as being over-diagnosis'd is Asbergers (sp). It seems that now if the kid gets BiPolar (BP) ruled out, they automatically get the other diagnosis. [/QUOTE]
