[QUOTE="Janna, post: 95897, member: 2737"] I can relate to this, sort of, maybe. My son has had a slew of diagnosis over the years. I think when he was small, toddlerhood, he just had a bunch of things going on that were unclear. Even at 5, 6, 7 years old, I guess for some of the doctors, it was hard to tell. Then in 2005, we got the Bipolar, Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified rule out, ADHD diagnosis. Thought he was Bipolar. Treated him as Bipolar (Lithium/Abilify). It worked for a while, but not in the long run. I spent 2 years hearing a little Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD), alot Bipolar. In August, I put him into an Residential Treatment Facility (RTF) where they watch him 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. I wish every parent of every child that's challenging could do this, it was the best thing in the world for my son. So after 3 months, they have said NO Bipolar, ALOT of Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-not otherwise specified (Autism) and ADHD. The Bipolar is gone, as is the drugs. medication wash. We are seeing alot of hyperactivity, as we always have. He will need medicine, there's no doubt, but it's easier to get the right interventions when you have the right diagnosis. I know alot of people don't worry about the diagnosis, but for me, it's always been a puzzle that I have wanted to figure out. And unfortunately, this doesn't mean 10 years from now Dylan won't have a diagnosis of Bipolar, but right now, it's gone. Congrats - hope things improve. [/QUOTE]
