[QUOTE="jal, post: 44795, member: 3477"] I am still having a hard time accepting the BiPolar (BP) diagnosis. Two dr's, a psychologist and his current psychiatrist have diagnosis'd BiPolar (BP). We have just begun the process with the neuropsychologist. I have been aware that it could be BiPolar (BP) since last August when he was first diagnosis'd and read everything I could on it. He fits the Bipolar Child almost to a tee. The psychiatrist said he was going with an evolving diagnosis of BiPolar (BP) and last week he confirmed it when he saw difficult child in a semi-manic state. It was (is) hard to swallow. The hardest thing I had to do was to place him on Lithium. An almost 5 yr old! It broke my heart. [img]:crying:[/img] We have chosen to medicate because physically he is a danger to himself. He is also a flight risk at home and in school (which is why he has been given a break from preschool). He is so wound in a constant manic state he cannot absorb the environment around him. I pray that this BiPolar (BP) diagnosis is wrong, but I don't think it is. Oh and to boot the psychiatrist thinks ADHD too. That's the worst mix to have. [img]:frown:[/img] [/QUOTE]
