Specializes in Psychiatry

Diagnostic issues: There can be diagnostic challenges with add vs bipolar disorder, for instance. Your response to stimulants may hint at the latter, with other considerations also. Hopefully you're working with an experienced psychiatrist so that you get effective treatment for the problems you actually have. Cognitive and psychological testing may also be needed to get at your correct diagnosis.
