[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 128029, member: 1514"] Toto... I am furious for you! I have heard the whole "kids cant have bipolar" thing for years. I was so hoping things had changed by now. When Cory was little I kept getting told he was ADHD/ODD but the medications didnt work quite right and all the professionals kept saying...there is something else going on too but we dont quite know what it is. Hmmmm. At 13 he got the diagnosis after some really eye-opening happenings in a psychiatric hospital. I know that they didnt diagnosis BiPolar (BP) when I was young and I wish they had. Heck nothing but ADHD was dxd back then and it was called something else. I ended up being called incorrigible. Nice. I have often argued the idiocy of saying something cannot be dxd until a person hits 18. Ok...what...do they get a nice pretty box on their birthday and open it and suddenly they have this disorder? Makes no sense to me. It cannot make scientific sense. No way. What was different the day before they were 18 and the day after? Nothing. And mental illness isnt genetic? Oh please! The man should meet my family. My mom was crazy as hell...probably schizo-affective, Im bipolar 1 and borderline and Cory is bipolar and ASPD. So what...did I go to the store and buy some weird genes? Is it all just a coincidence that this runs in my family? I dont think so. Run, dont walk. Go on the other bipolar boards and look for recommendations of psychiatrists who treat many kids with mood disorders. Even that weirdo who claims there are 6 forms of ADHD and one of them looks oddly like bipolar says to treat it with the bipolar medications. [/QUOTE]
