Yes, you are right. This is just beginning to be recognized, that a lot of kids with ADHD, especially with a strong family hx for Bipolar Disorder, will go on to exhibit bipolar, and that it is now recommended that the dx be made earlier, so as to start proper treatment earlier. There is a researcher (Damn, I wish I remember where) who came up with a brief screening to identify kids with bipolar--this is somewhere on the web, if I remember, I'll be sure to point you in that direction. Maybe someone else here, including Dr. Bob, knows.
BTW, what kind of doctor is his doctor?
