[QUOTE="Vonnie, post: 736804, member: 23253"] I'm sorry you're going through all this! We went through something similar with our son. The challenge is that bipolar looks a lot different in kids than it does in adults so it is hard to diagnose. For many kids, it shows itself as aggression. Like Baggy Bags said, try to get 3rd, 4th, and 5th opinions if you can. Four doctors in, we found someone who identified the bipolar symptoms. We still don't have an official bipolar diagnosis, but he's finally on medications to treat biopolar which made so much difference (until puberty, but that's another story). [/QUOTE]
