[QUOTE="whatamess, post: 287882, member: 7664"] The last two psychiatrists we've seen don't really acknowledge childhood bipolar. I have and his in-home therapist and school diagnostician have definitely seen him manic. He vascillates between manic (insane amounts of energy, bouncing from harassing our pets and his sibs to tearing up stuff and stealing his sibs things), to irritable(the smallest things sets him off yelling or crying, blames everyone for anything that hasn't gone right and will rant for literally hours on things like why he can't play his video game) and then reg. (hyper, sensory-seeking, impulsive). I don't know if this is bipolar or some other mood disorder, but I've been trying for a month to get in for an appointment. with another psychiatrist. He is diagnosis'd Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified, adhd, anxiety. We've tried Concerta, Ritalin, Adderall and Strattera (this helped, but he was still very irritable) for adhd. Zoloft for a very short time, it made him very aggressive. Tenex also for a short time because there were no positive effects. [/QUOTE]
