with the growing evidence of environmental, allergic and infectious etc components related to some neuropsychiatric symptoms, I think many of these children are misdx all round
I found this link on a PANDAS forum, where parents know only too well how a child with strep related brain inflammation can be misdx with psychiatric disorders and treated with drugs that make things far worse
Jaspar, a friend of mine's son had an ADHD dx as a child and started adderall when young, resulting in horrible side effects and personality changes that now have him labelled bipolar as an adult.
