I may be posting way too late here, not sure if you are still on the board, but I totally agree with Dolphindiaries! Our 14 y/o DD was just diagnosed with bipolar 3 months ago and life has become so much more bearable for her and for us! Childhood bipolar is indeed VERY OFTEN misdiagnosed as ADHD in children when they are younger. I would ask his doctor about this.
