Hi everyone
My son was just diagnoised with ADHD and ODD. My doctor told me to try him on the meds for these to problems first. If the meds hype him up more then normal the he does not have ADHD but he does have bipolar. She also clued me in that children that are very young like mine, which he is 4, that it is hard to tell the difference in the two. So many of the symptoms are similar to each disorder. So now i guess it is a waiting game. Oh by the way, I'm new to the forums and new to parenting a child with ADHD, if anyone is willing to give me some advice about the whole thing. I would absolutly love it. Thanks:)
