Can a diagnosis of childhood bipolar nos be reversed? My son was diagnosed at the age of 10 and put on psychotropic drugs meant for adults. The psychiatrist looked at him on the first visit and said to us that he could tell just by looking at him that he had the disease. We were referred to this doctor by an LCSW who had our son in therapy for anger management. At 17 our son went off all medication and has been perfectly healthy since. He is 26 and the diagnosis is affecting many of his job opportunites. He was considered a rapid cycler and never had episodic events. What can he do now?
