[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 127889, member: 3626"] I can remember getting into a very serious argument with my psychiatric professor in college. He said kids couldn't be bipolar. I asked him what happened? Does someone just magically become bipolar at 18 even though there were years of history showing mania and depression? I never got a satisfactory answer to that. So, I guess people take some magic pill to become bipolar as adults since they can't have it as kids. In other words, you have my sympathy. My argument and my professor's small mind caused me a lower grade. The blindness by your psychiatrist could be harmful to your child. At least he was willing to try some medications. Some psychiatrists won't even do that because of this idiotic belief. I do agree that BiPolar (BP) is over-diagnosis'ed today but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. I wish he'd validated your feelings more. You deserve at least that. I wish psychiatry were more of an exact science and that more was known about the mind. It would make it easier to get better diagnoses and treatment plans. It would open the minds of people who are the "specialists." It would help families in turmoil and pain. (((((TOTORO))))) [/QUOTE]
