[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 127951, member: 1550"] I don't need guidelines to know that mood disorders in kids exists. I was a very depressed child. I can trace it back to four years old and my mother thinks I was "different" as an infant--I always cried, couldn't be soothed, and had no physical problems. At age thirteen, I went into such a bad depression that I couldn't even function. I remember I didn't bother trying to make an effort to smile because I didn't have the energy. I did nothing. I went to school, couldn't concentrate, didn't try. Came home, did nothing, too depressed to do homework, didn't care if I flunked. I cried to my mom at night that I felt "depressed and nervous." I remember it well. What would that psychiatrist call it? ADHD? I have either bipolar II or the more popular version of a mood disorder called Mood Disorder Spectrum. They are pretty much treated the same way, only, since I get more depressed than hypomanic, I need an antidepressant. My advice is to dump the doctor. I don't have a clue why anyone with a scientific background can think that at ten you can't be clinically depressed, but magically at eighteen you can. They're just wrong--and in my opinion they make no sense. [/QUOTE]
