[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 34049, member: 1514"] I hope I didnt step on any toes but it just got me to thinking that some parents may be thinking that they are doing something "wrong" if they are using what is available in their area. Way back when Cory was just a little guy he was seen by more different specialties than I can shake a stick at. He was very complex. Back then they didnt diagnose bipolar in kids very often, at least down here. He got the ADHD and ODD diagnosis. The doctors were all stymied because he didnt respond how he should have to medications or therapy. I had one of his therapists who took me aside and told me that if she didnt know better she would swear he was bipolar. He was 7. She also told me I would never get a doctor to diagnosis him with it until he was older. She was right. Everyone kept shaking their heads and telling me that there was "something else" going on with him but they werent sure what it was. I think they suspected but since it wasnt in the DSM they were flummoxed. [/QUOTE]
