My son has been just diagnosed with ADHD combined with a mild case of bipolar and my health insurance does not cover any Dr's appts so I have been paying out of my pocket for all Dr's appts. I am really strapped b/c my husband has been layed off for the past 3 months. But I guess here is my question I might be able to get assistance from the state (PA) but I have to go through Social Security disablity to get it. My fear is that he will be labeled disabled for the rest of his life and I don't want that especially since he is very gifted. I don't want to do anything to screw up his life down the road. I might get denied and have to go through PA Medicaid loophole but I am just afraid that he might get labeled.  If anyone has any experience with this or advice please help!!

Thank you
