Misdiagnosis of Bipolar Disorder
May 29th, 2009
My son is being treated for bipolare (shots every other week) and is on paxil.

Question: I think my son may also be an addict - crack/meth/cocaine.

Can these systoms be similar?

He has no insurance and he is being seen at mental health and they don't do drug addiction, just other mental disorders...so I can't seem to find out. And, of course, my son denies, denies, denies.

Help me or refer me please.
