[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 230185, member: 1550"] Actually, your poem broke my heart. Sadly, sperm donor is half of his DNA, and since his history is unknown, but obviously not good, it may be hard to diagnose him. The more the psychiatrists and NeuroPsychs know about the biological family, the better they can diagnose. I have had these issues because my kids are adopted--it's not fun only having limited to no information. Although, yes, he fits bipolar, he could also have other things--he also has a lot of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) traits, although I'm pretty sure Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) is not the whole issue (he can have Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and a psychiatric problem too). I would work on two fronts--get a new and better psychiatrist (sometimes asking around as to who has helped others is a good idea) and I'd get a neuropsychologist evaluation. Together you could get some answers that you don't have yet. Both of these professionals are the Head Honchos of Mental Health, so to speak, but everyone can find a lemon--I found many lemon psychiatrists for both myself and my son. I'd get a second opinion on the psychiatrist's medications and get that neuropsychologist evaluation. He's so young you still have so much time to help him. You are a very gifted poet. [/QUOTE]
