[QUOTE="klmno, post: 39641, member: 3699"] i hope i'm not posting this in wrong place, but i'd like some input from parents of older difficult child's. my son is 12 and was diagnosed with depression and disruptive conduct not otherwise specified last winter/spring. now psychiatrist says it sounds like he might have some manic episodes so changed medications from prozac to mood stabilizer. i'm trying to get him in for an inpatient evaluation because i'm not sure of anything anymore. does this necessarily mean he's bipolar for the rest of his life? if it is a chemical imbalance causing mood issues, does that necessarily mean bipolar and if the kid is 12, is there a possibility that balance can return naturally after puberty is over? sometimes if a kid ends up with multiple diagnosis, can that mean docs really don't know? i know- i'm grasping at straws to hold onto hope that things won't just get worse for the rest of his life- [img]:smile:[/img] [/QUOTE]
