Okay, first of all, wasn't there some kind of code of ethics where they wouldn't even diagnose a person with a psychiatric disorder until they were 18? I mean, I do believe some people are just born wrong or evil, but for bipolar for that age group? Kids are nuts when they go through puberty! I think most kids act like their bipolar from 6th-12th grade, because that's just what growing up and hormones and everything does to you. But I guess it goes along with all those parents who put their kids on ADD medication cause god forbid, they act like kids and they actually have to do some parenting. Plus, these drugs carry a lot of heavy, bad side effects. Plus, it's altering the brain's chemistry, and what's that going to do to a brain that's still forming? Man, this just has me so grossed out.
