[QUOTE="Mrs Smith, post: 116957, member: 3893"] Sorry you're having such a hard time getting help for your son. You must be terrified for him since his suicide attempt. I think if I were you, I would focus on treating the symptoms and not worry too much about getting the perfect diagnosis. For all of our kids, an accurate diagnosis is nearly impossible. My son (who doesn't have a bipolar diagnosis) is on a mood stabilizer. Some people with bipolar use stimulants. Some people with depression use antipsychotics. You won't know until you try. Use caution though, do the research, know the side effects and monitor closely. Also don't forget about non-medication interventions. Cover all your bases. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
