Hi, If I were you I'd go for a 2nd opinion from another Pdoc. This is a serious thing either way, and you want to make sure, and get the correct diagnosis. Hope everything works out for you both.

I have a friend that was misdiagnosed and they found out through a brain scan ,because of a car accident.His girl friend told him he was bipolar because he was angry at her all the time and a doctor agreed. The the accident revealed the truth he was not bipolar and doctor can be wrong a. They took him off the med's Also a girl was diagnosed bipolar and she has side effect from another medication that sound just like bipolar symptoms.
