[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 609813, member: 1967"] comaheart, my difficult child has had more diagnoses than I can remember. Every time she sees a new psychiatrist or counselor, they tell her something different. My current therapist told me that the diagnosis didn't really matter. She said that the symptoms are what are really important and that a good psychiatrist will tailor the medications to the symptoms . . . not the diagnosis. We have been through ADD, ODD, clinical depression, bi-polar, borderline, and bi-polar with borderline features. So many symptoms of those disorders overlap each other we will never be sure which one(s) is correct. I agree, though, that the doctor needs to be brought up to speed on the cutting incident and past history. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
