Suggest Treatment For Severe Mood Swings While Having Anxiety
Hi. My 12 year old son is struggling with what has been diagnosed anxiety and panic disorder. However, we feel he may also be bipolar. His moods can fluctuate several times a day and depressive episodes can be triggered by something as simple as being told no or if he s feeling bored. My question is, can a bipolar diagnosis be misdiagnosed as anxiety and panic disorder?

Hello,
Avoid unwanted stress and anxiety. Relaxation techniques like yoga and meditation can help a bit. If symptoms persist better to consult a psychiatrist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
