Mood Disorder not Otherwise Specified.?
Hi. I'm only twelve and I was recently diagnosed with Mood D/O NOS meaning mood disorder not otherwise specified. It basically means they don't know what the **** is wrong with me but they recognize something is wrong. The symptoms have been going on since around the time I was nine. The psychiatrist says its too early to diagnose me with bipolar disorder. I am on 600 mg a day of trileptal which is used to stabilize my moods though it is a medicine for seizures. I am also on 300 mg of seraquel which is an anti-psychotic. (The reason I am so informed of all of this is because I am looking into becoming an adolescent psychologist.) I have a family history of bi-polars and schizophrenics. I have researched bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and panic disorder. the symptoms of bipolar disorder match up exactly while I have symptoms of the other two disorders. So my question is, is there a possibility I could be later diagnosed with bipolar disorder? Again I'm a twelve year old girl and I have had these symptoms for three straight years. I know you probably think that since I'm twelve I am ignorant and don't know what I'm talking about but I do and I would like the answers I get to be Intelligent and not putting me down because I am young. I have been diagnosed, I am on medicine, I am seeing a counselor, and I am probably a lot smarter than you all give me credit for. Thanks
