Reply #2: they were talking about this on npr, and one thing they are changing

is making it harder to declare a child bp. they are introducing a new disorder called temper dysfunction or some thing like that. they said this would preclude the use of many of the drugs that are given to kids without testing on kids, and also will make it harder for these kids to get things like therapeutic schools.
i think this is mostly a bad thing. lots of parents reject the drugs, anyway. but these kids need a lot of help to stay in school and stay on track. it feels like they are trying to close what they see as floodgates. or a loophole, depending on how cynical this all is.
