[QUOTE="givnmegryhr2, post: 89034, member: 4237"] I will always remember what one psychotherapist told us. The brain is a mass of chemicals that is ever changing. He said that the BiPolar (BP) could get better, although it usually only gets worse,but it COULD get better. With this thinking, I think as the chemicals change and the brain grows, diagnosis's could certainly change so just because the diagnosis has changed doesn't necessarily mean it was wrong before. I know we see different things in difficult child since he was first diagnosis'd. I still think his BiPolar (BP) diagnosis is correct, maybe the adhd, although I didn't previously agree with that, I do moreso now. I think alot stems from the BiPolar (BP). I see more Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) symptoms at times,but even those have changed. Due to medications? Maybe. Do I regret what we've done. No. We had to try something. We will continue to try. He's off of medications now,but I still believe he needs them. Some have worked, unfortunately they didn't last more than a year. We all do what we think is best for our children. That's all we can do. [/QUOTE]
