[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 485263, member: 1550"] Malika, hon, sure they use the DSM, but there is a big difference in HOW they use it, if that makes sense :) If your doctors rarely diagnose and only do it after six and usually stick to ADHD, they are more conservative than they are here. That isn't a bad thing. I think they jump t he gun pretty fast here and dole out medications way too often and too soon. If childhood bipolar is not diagnosed in France, however, well, that's a biggie here...so the psychiatrists are thinking in different ways. Again, that is not a bad thing. After my experience with Sonic, I think they diagnose wrong way too often (and they are so sure they have diagnosed right even when they are wrong) and they medicate in sometimes frightening ways in the US. Reading what really happened with J, it does not seem as serious. Our 4K boys at the daycare are rough with each other and seem to enjoy tumbling all over each other and fake chasing and fighting. The line gets drawn when somebody actually gets hurt, but agree that boys are naturally more interested in playing physically. [/QUOTE]
