Suggest Treatment For Depression, Anxiety And ADHD
My son was given many diagnoses around the age of 8. Is is almost 15 now. I recently was able to his medical records for review since his original psychiatrist was fired and the place shut down. I am shocked to see he his first DX is BP along with major depression, anxiety and ADHD. I am uphauled that I didn't know about these diagnoses to begin with. I was let to believe that he was being treated for anxiety only. He has never exhibited any ADHD behaviors except when the doctor started him on meds. Is it possible to get the Dx reversed for BP and ADHD? I understand the depression DX even though he didn't discuss it with us. My son wants to be a pilot but was told he could not with this combination.

hi there, there is no condition or medicines which can stop your son being a pilot. There are certain conditions in psychiatry which requires life long treatment but most of the patients maintain well with medicines. First of all your son requires details evaluation for the confirmation of his diagnosis and accordingly he can be started on medicines. For this you need to consult psychiatrist once again. All the best
