[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 116901, member: 2423"] Getting a proper diagnosis is very, very challenging. Many symptoms of childhood disorders overlap, which makes it incredibly hard to figure out what is what. You're right that it takes more than two quickie appointments. Having said that, Strattera is an antidepressant and so is Prozac (just in different medication classes). Unfortunately, if he has bipolar disorder, both could make him much worse. So it is important to have the right diagnosis before deciding on which medication to choose. Do you think the diagnosis of Impulse Control Disorder fits or do you think his issues go beyond that diagnosis? Is it possible that he could have a more thorough evaluation to know exactly what you're dealing with? [/QUOTE]
