If you have a look at DSM IV code 299, this is the clinical diagnostic criteria for autism. That will give you a broad, basic understanding of what the professionals are looking for. Because it is a 'spectrum' disorder there is a huge range of how it affects any child from mild to severe.

i was diagnosed with eating disorder NOS.. not otherwise specified. it is an actual diagnosis in the DSM. eating disorders vary in many aspects. some pple are afraid of food. some people dont like the texture. some ppl have been starved as a child and are tormented with issues regarding food. eating disorder NOS means that you meet the criteria for having an eating disorder but you do not meet the criteria for anorexia or bulimia. i had no issues with body image whatsoever.

My son was tested for Autism years ago. There are 12 flags apparently and he only met 9 of them so his doctor said she wouldn't give it to him as a diagnosis. I noticed on one of his billing sheets the code for PDD. Pervasive Developmental Disorder, isn't that a diagnosis a step away from Autism? Does that mean he IS Autistic or only to a certain degree?? I dont get it. Please if anyone has any info it would be appreciated.

First of all, there is no clear consensus as to how many types of bipolar disorder exist. In DSM-IV-TR and ICD-10, bipolar disorder is conceptualized as a spectrum of disorders occurring on a continuum. The DSM-IV-TR lists four types of mood disorders which fit into the bipolar categories: Bipolar I, Bipolar II, Cyclothymia, and Bipolar Disorder NOS (Not Otherwise Specified) like I said, so I was in fact numerating the aknowledged types only, yet articles tell you there are even more than 5.

Have a look at the DSM IV criteria for PDD NOS and Autism (or autistic spectrum disorder). The criteria says problems with speech and communication (which your son has). Problems with needing a rigid routines or being inflexible (which your son has). The need for things to remain the same usually indicates poor imagination and flexibility of thought. Sensory issues (typical of ASD, but not in the criteria).

The DSM-V has now converted Aspergers, PDD-NOS, and Autistic Disorder, into one diagnosis called ASD(Autism Spectrum Disorder) with three levels (3-severe 2-moderate 1-mild).

ve had symptoms that could fall under acute stress disorder, panic disorder, general anxiety disorder, and depression. Sometimes the symptoms can fit in one catagory and then switch over to a different catagory. For example, in the past I've had frequent panic attacks throughout the day. Overtime, I've found triggers (more trivial than life threatening) for some while others just happen. Majority of the symptoms began after 2 years of profound stress.

I would go back to your GP/Paediatrician and tell them you want referring to a multi-disciplinary team that has experience of diagnosing autism and aspergers. Have you googled DSM IV Aspergers/Autism/PDD NOS to get the clinical criteria the professionals are looking for? As you will see any child only has to get some of the behaviours in the areas mentioned. I would then begin making a daily diary of behaviours he shows that meets the criteria.

Well, it could be anxiety that is secondary to something like sensory issues. I know you say she has no symptoms of this but this is just an example of how anxiety can be secondary to something else. Some kids have minimal ability to self soothe and chewing is a known way that little ones try to do this. My son has sensory integration disorder and has never been diagnosed with anxiety. But . .. his sensory issues make him anxious no doubt about it.

Of course the disorder is complicated. There is still much to learn. However, according to the DSM IV, it is pretty clear that 7 days is the cut-off. If your fiancee says they last more than a week, even if rarely, your manic symptoms bump you to bipolar disorder I. But, hey, we're not pdocs. Why aren't you asking yours? I know mine uses the DSM as a guideline and would not arbitrarily let one day of symptoms make all the difference.

There is something important about the bipolar diagnosis and the borderline personality disorder diagnosis. These are 2 separate issues. The diagnostic tool used in psychiatry, the DSM-IV or what ever number of revision it is at, is based on 5 axis system. Axis I includes acute issues like biploar disorder, major depression, generalized anxiety, substance abuse, ADHD, schizophrenia.

If you click on the Health Page icon on the top right hand corner of this forum page, go into The Behavioural Charteristics behind a Diagnosis of an Autistic Spectrum Disorder. I have posted the DSM IV Clinical Criteria and parents have posted examples of their child's behaviour that meets the criteria. This should give you some ideas of what the professionals are looking for.

I believe the 242.90 nos is a icd9 diagnosis code used for hospital billing referring to hyperthyroidism. Nos means not otherwise specified. The tsh would most likely be very low for hyperthyroidism along with elevated free t4. You need a copy of your labs for sure. I know it is a hassle to obtain but well worth it.

The disturbance is not better explained by the symptoms of another mental disorder (e.g.

The other category of depression is Major Depressive Disorder. So, using the DSM Diagnoses you have Dysthymia with periods of Major Depressive Disorder.

Adults chew gum, pace, etc. Everyone has ways of coping. True clinical anxiety is a disorder that a physician can diagnose, however, I wouldn't assume this is the case. I do believe that talking to your grandson would be helpful. While clinical DSM 4 anxiety can be treated with medication, having worked in this field for many years--- I can tell you that almost always physicians suggest "talk" therapy as well. This is an important piece of the puzzle.

Google can explain and so can DSM-IV but basically BPD is a personality disorder and BP is a mood disorder - if you do some reading you will see a very large difference is apparent.

Another possibly has the latter. Bipolar disorder can be easily mistaken for major depressive disorder, even for ten years, due to the nature of them both. It is good to hear you have the proper medication combination, this is a real undertaking to get.

ll start with our story, my 8yo little boy has current diagnoses of psychotic disorder NOS, mood disorder NOS, and ADHD, combined type. We are pending diagnoses of Schizoaffective disorder, Bipolar disorder with psychosis. It's been a rough road, and still is. His meds are constantly being changed, and we just had another hospitalization. I have hope for the future, and believe we can all find support here. What is your story?

RockRose - I did not know that. Our nephew was tested for Asperger's but he was too high-functioning and so was diagnosed with PDD-NOS. At the time he was about 30 years old so it was just a few years ago.
