Re: Re: Bipolar-Bonnie

[Guest guest]

Bonnie, this is what I have read about the treatment of TDD versus bipolar. " In

theory, the presence of TDD will educate clinicians, researchers, and the

public that this syndrome is not simply a version of bipolar disorder. This

would facilitate research on the causes, features, and treatments for this

condition. This has major implications for treatment. For example, the standard

treatment for bipolar disorder does NOT seem to work in children that have the

TDD syndrome (Dickstein et al, 2009). By explicitly stating that TDD is not

bipolar, researchers would be less likely to approach the search for treatments

from a “bipolar frameworkâ€, which would potentially facilitate the

discovery of

more effective interventions. " Stormy
