Hi Everyone,
Someone posted this address several weeks ago and it helped to answer some of my questions about how to differentiate between the two diagnoses: www.addclinic.com When you get to the site, go to the article listed as "296 vs 314."

KarenB,
I've always appreciated you, but I'd kiss your feet today if I could.
Towards the bottom of the article, where they recap, they could have added one more item:
"If you've read this far, you're probably not 314."
Best wishes,
Mark H.

Thanks for the great info. The one factor that I was interested in looking for was the violent tendencies. I have one child ( whom has since responded favorably to medication) that has definite characteristics and has been diagnosed bipolar nos. The primary symptom of his diagnosis was the rage intensity and the violence. He also had characteristic sleep disruptions , rapid thought processing and euphoric tendencies. He has always been an exceptional student and had no complaints from the teachers.There is also a very good site dealing with bpchildren at "www.bpkids.com". The only way to get these kids the help that they so desparately need is to acknowledge that they exist in the first place. Although I am aware that Bipolar disorder can be difficult to diagnose, it can be present in very young children and it needs to be noted that there are exceptions to every rule.. I am a bpI and can remember episodes very early on in my life that indicated my disorder. I cannot help but wonder if my problems would be much less severe had I been recognized and treated much earlier in life. I also have parents who are bp, so we are talking third generation. Perhaps this is why we are more aware of the diagnostic possibilities. I am also aware that this is a guideline and there are exceptions to every "rule", but I think for the general diagnostic arena this is very good information. Thank you for the site.
This is the end of the thread.
