speaking of symptom clusters, that reminded me of something that has bothered me for a while. Whats the deal with the concept of the comorbidity of different disorders ? For example, I think now there is a debate about whether bipolar is under-diagnosed in children and mistaken for ADHD, or whether there is no such thing as childhood BP. Joe Biederman and Jill Wozniak at I think Harvard are of the former opinion, and some other person is of the latter (I forget who--but in my opinion mistaken). I also agree with you 150% about the idiocy of labels. They say that in children in Boston have a 70% chance of being diagnosed as bipolar./
