“Just heard the “What happened to the Perfect Child” episode. Troy Roberts should take extra caution while quoting doctors.In speaking to the Russian adoptee, he said that her psychiatrist said she was “potentially bipolar…”. I went back to listen to what the doctor said, and he was quite cautious in his words. The psychiatrist is fully aware that these diagnoses cannot be made until age 18, although children may exhibit characteristics. He said “now there may be other developing psychiatric difficulties such as bipolar illness... “ His nuance was appropriate. Troy Robert’s statement was at worst- trying to fan flames, at best- poor journalism.”
