Guest guest Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 In light of the recent posts regarding the various medications and diagnosis, I thought I'd share some tools I have used to help me communicate better with my DS' doctors: Bipolar Information: http://www.jbrf.org/pdf/CBQ_Development.pdf Bipolar Questionnaire: http://www.jbrf.org/cbq/cbq_survey.cfm Scoring Guidelines: http://www.jbrf.org/pdf/cbq_srv.pdf Vanderbilt Assessment Tool: http://www.cap4kids.org/new_york_city/download/ADHDParent.pdf Scoring: http://www.nichq.org/toolkits_publications/complete_adhd/07Scoring%20Instructions.pdf My son appears to be dealing with several issues, and right now takes more than one medication to address the different symptoms. It is quite a lot to accept, but the medications are helping him. To those who have not had good results, I would recommend that you keep seeking help. I do have adult friends who have not responded well to medication and have to manage their symptoms by other means, but I think for many it may be more of a matter of treating the right condition. I know in our case there are medications that would have made our situation worse yet might have seemed right based on the initial assessment.
