My friend is 15 years old. Her mom has been trying to convince her to get tested for bipolar disorder but she refuses. Recently, she went to the doctor and the doctor took blood. He told her the reason he took blood was so her could test her for an iron deficiency. Today, her mom told her that the real reason the doctor took blood was to test my friend for bipolar disorder, even though she did not want to be tested. Is this legal?
Answer
Actually, yes. If her mother is her legal guardian/custodial parent, she can have her daughter tested.
Answer
In addition to the foregoing information, you don't use a blood test for bipolar disorder. The determination of bipolar disorder is best made by a Psychiatrist through a series of meetings.
