She was on her worst behaviour, word to Drizzy, and now doctors know why. Amanda Bynes has officially been diagnosed with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. “She does indeed have schizophrenia and bipolar disorder,” source close to her family confirmed. “It was what Amanda’s parents, Rick and Lynn, had suspected all along. Nevertheless, it was difficult to process for Amanda’s parents. The bright side is that Amanda can lead a long, normal life, as long as she takes her medication. Doctors at the treatment facility are still working to get Amanda therapeutic meds and she’s responding to the medications she is being given to treat her dual diagnosis.” So glad to hear she’s going to be okay!
Doctors Increase Age Range for ADHD Diagnosis
I normally don’t cover these kind of stories, but this one hit close to home. My little brother was diagnosed with ADHD at an early age and since some doctors don’t believe it’s even a “real” disease, it was a CONSTANT struggle up through his early teens. Teachers didn’t understand him, doctors couldn’t help him…it was awful.

Children as young as 4 can be diagnosed and treated for ADHD now (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), according to new guidelines from the American Academy of Pediatrics. Read on for more.
