[QUOTE="pepperidge, post: 14536, member: 2322"] I have pored over the The Bipolar child. SMD seems to fit my children so much better than the BiPolar (BP) diagnosis because they don't cycle in and out of depression and/or mania. They are always disregulated--always irritable, always with a low frustration tolerance that hits the boiling point every now and again. And stims do seem to help, but not enough. I am really glad that the researchers are looking at this, because hopefully we might even get some diagnostic tests --and some better recommendations on medications. What of course makes its hard is that all these mood disorders share overlapping symptoms. Just like backaches or whatever are all not the same, not all mood disorders are likely to be bipolar.
