[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 15785, member: 2423"] I would certainly not give much weight to dxes by a SW or the school, especially when their dxes describe behaviors that generally improve once the underlying cause (for example, ADHD, bipolar, Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), etc) is identified and treated. psychiatrists are the right professionals for dxing mood issues (anxiety, depression, bipolar, etc), but they can miss Autistic Spectrum Disorders and learning disabilities. For this reason, we often recommend an additional evaluation by a neuropsychologist. Neuropsychologists can be found at children's and university hospitals. Trileptal is an anticonvulsant/mood stabilizer used to treat bipolar disorder. While I have no first-hand knowledge of this medication, I have read that it has a low side-effect profile and is often prescribed for younger children. Glad you're making progress. [/QUOTE]
