[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 302978, member: 3444"] It very well could be bipolar. His response to Zoloft is very similar to what happened with my difficult child 2 in first grade. Have you checked out any of the books on pediatric bipolar? "The Bipolar Child" by Papolos "Bipolar Disorder in Childhood and Early Adolescence" edited by Geller & DelBello Another good one is: "Misdiagnosis and Dual Diagnoses of Gifted Children and Adults" by Webb et al If he doesn't already have a 504 plan or IEP you should be talking to the school about it. He will likely benefit from some kind of social skills intervention to help with the peer interactions. We found that to be a huge problem for difficult child 2 and his social life suffered greatly over the years. The social skills classes have helped him quite a bit. I'm glad to hear that this year is going better so far for him on the playground. I hope that continues. Recess and lunch were always difficult times for difficult child 2. Depending on where you live, there are number of universities conducting pediatric bipolar studies. I'm on the west coast and know of two really good centers if you're interested. [/QUOTE]
