As far as my knowledge, these children are being labeled with Bipolar due to the fact that the [adult] Bipolar medications often work on children--what they are labeled as is irrelevant. My question is whether these children are classified with Bipolar or ADHD once adults??If the answer to this question is Bipolar maybe this common human brain disfunction just reacts differently within a prebubescent brain?Please respond to this ASAP for i have i paper due on this for Monday!

I personaly was given antidepressants by my doctor which helped me through a difficult time . But I bellive the dosage was too high he put me on 150mg a day of amitriptylene. After 6 months i stopped taking them . Later i went back on them at a much lower dose . I stopped again because I realised I was becoming dependent on them and if i didnt take it I had headaches and difficulty sleeping . I was told they were non addictive . I'm glad I've stopped taking them now.

Maybe all the adhd meds kids were on made these children Bipolar????My son has been diagnosed BP....and all the kids I know who were diagnosed as this where on adhd meds previously.Does anyone think this theory makes sense????

Correction: The Indians are the Tarascan Indians. My one son is bipolar and he was only diagnosed with clinical depression. The other just has hypomania and not classical manic depression. They both have different degrees of underactivity of the posterior pituitary gland. Post pit deficiency also gets worse as you age.

You also treat bipolar with a sledgehammer when a dosage as small as 1/800 mg of posterior pituitary supplement has a positive effect.

Much of what you say is correct but you and the public can't afford for you to be wrong.Clinical depression is often diagnosed when it is really bipolar. Post pit deficiency is on the increase and it is at 88% in American women and much less in other cultures such as the Taraacan Indians. Page believed that sucrose, fructose in juices,caffeine, and alcohol is the cause which weakens the posterior pituitary gland.Much bipolar goes undiagnosed.
