[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 485600, member: 1550"] Some psychiatrists get "stuck" on a diagnosis too, like our psychiatrist with the newly recognized childhood onset bipolar. He preached it to me and I got involved with a parent group that thought everything was bipolar (any raging child) and it influenced ME, as Janet said. She's RIGHT. I thought any child who raged had bipolar, but that was nine years ago and I learned a lot, including not to trust every psychiatrist's opinion and to get second and third opinions, if necessary. I agree that we need to do a lot of research into the neurobiology of brain disorders/differences. It would help us all a lot to be able to know for sure why our differently wired children act like they do. And then maybe instead of being guinea pigs, our kids will get help a lot sooner. Adults too. This is still an evolving field. We are nowhere near the answers. [/QUOTE]
