[QUOTE="ksm, post: 675053, member: 12511"] Well, the psychologists office called to reschedule, she had the flu. But, the guy that did the testing called and gave me some basic info over the phone. H e didn't think it was full blown Bipolar, but had some features. Some personality disorder signs, but not yet diagnosed with it. Here is what he thought...DMDD, ADD, possible PTSD. Copied and Pasted... Disruptive mood dysregulation disorder (DMDD) is a condition in which a child is chronically irritable and experiences frequent, severe temper outbursts that seem grossly out of proportion to the situation at hand. DMDD is a new disorder created to more accurately categorize some children who had previously been diagnosed with pediatric bipolar disorder. These children do not experience the episodic mania or hypomania characteristic of bipolar disorder, and they do not typically develop adult bipolar disorder, although they are at elevated risk for depression and anxiety as adults. Unlike pediatric bipolar disorder, DMDD is thought to occur more often in boys than girls. To me, DMDD sounds like a temporary diagnosis... But, he said the Dr. We have is a very good one to work with teen girls with this type problem. We are rescheduled to next week. Now we are in a hotel room about 120 miles from home for an 8:30 appointment tomorrow morning at the Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) clinic. I think her problems probably have some Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) thrown in. She has so many problems with remembering things... On Sunday she told me she would like to donate something to their project at school, for people in nursing homes. I bought some lotion and handed it to her before school on Monday. She forgot it. Same, Tuesday, Wednesday, and today. IQ wise she is pretty much on track... But, she loses things, can't estimate how long it takes to do things, complete assignments, etc. Will post more after we get home tomorrow. Thanks for the advice and your concerns. KSM [/QUOTE]
