[QUOTE="LookingForAnswers, post: 427580, member: 11937"] Steely ~ I am so confused about my son's diagnosis. He has been seeing the same psychiatrist for almost 8 years. When he was 7 he was diagnosed with ADHD, Depression, Anxiety, and ODD. He did not give MH any tests; he just asked a lot of questions. We had also taken him to see a Psychologist back then and she did test him and diagnosis'd him with ADHD and Depression also. When he was 11 the mood swings started happening and that is when he was put on Geodon. It stabilized his moods but it made him seem "high" sometimes. His psychiatrist has never specified the mood disorder....he just says "mood disorder" which confuses me because isn't Mood Disorder a class of disorders like Depression and BiPolar (BP)? His psychiatrist also seems perplexed about how to treat MH. I am taking him to a new psychiatrist in a few weeks for a 2nd opinion...a fresh opinion...and to look at his medications. I am hoping and praying that this new psychiatrist will have the answers! [/QUOTE]
