It is like your talking about my child. I know just what you mean. I call it walking on pins and needles. I have no idea how to go on myself. My other children see how sick this shild is and they worry to. Where should I turn for help?

I feel for you because my daughter was bipolar. Kayla passed away Jan 23 from a heart attack possibly brought on by taking Risperdal and Zoloft. Hang in there, I know it is tough parenting a bipolar kid. Be careful becasue they can make up some hellacious stories.

How old is your son and what are his symptoms. Mine has ADHD, but I am not totally sure about the bi-polar part. How can yuo tell if they are bi-polar. I read some info on-line, some stuff matches and some doesn't. How do you know for sure?

I took my son into the doc and shhe gave me some pills for him to try for homework I cant remember the name but its similar to ritalin a stimulent it was sposed to help, but it just made things worse he had an anxiety attack and beet on his pillow jumped around screamed and so on for 2 hours it scared the hell out of me! when I told his doc about it he said bipolar children will react that way with that kind of drug, so far thats all the information I have, in the meentime my son is getting so much worse, and its a waiting game

we went through the same thing with our youngest, and it is sheer hell, i am so sorry for your pain...three uears of trying this or that, and almost two years of residential treatment. God is good, and this next phase of med changes we are attempting at home. sucessfully, i might add and i homeschool her out of desire, not out of desperation, or last resort.

How old is your son?What's this world comming to? Everyones kid has something or is on something! Was something in the water these pregnant mothers to be were drinking or what?Maybe some of these kids really do have a problem but in some cases I think it's just a lack of good discipline!

My son has bipolar in addition to ADHD!!!! I can say I feel bad for you! My son is 6 and recently was diagnosed bipolar. Before I knew, he was emotional, would cry for no reason at all, get overly angry, and then snap and be perfectly happy. It drove me nuts. I knew he had ADHD. ANyhow, my son is now on risperdal and concerta. Its the best ever! He still has some issues, but he is in therepy. I know how hard it is, I trully do. You need to get him seen, evaluated. School is around the corner, and believe me, its even harder when they are in school. You have his young age to your advantage. WOrd to the wise, because of his age, they may not say its bipolar. They may say mood disorder. If you want my email add. let me know.

Any one with a bipolar child?

this is in response to Just my Opinion dated 4/27/06. You sound like you don't have a child that has a disorder or for some reason you might have been blessed or in denial. There are alot of children with disorders but probably the majority of childrend are lucky enough not to have these disorders. Thanks to the advancement in the medical field these problems that our children are having has finally came to light and have been noticed and verified. I am in my forty's and I remember in elementary, middle and high school seeing these same symptoms in my school mates and yet during those times there was no diagosis for these problems back then. Lack in discipline may be a problem many children have but don' t go and put that label on children that has these medical problems. The good news is that there is help now for these chilldren that has these medical problems and it would have been beneficial in the 60's and 70's to have had treatment available for those who needed it then and for all of those in the years before that. Knowledge is what is needed for those who has this problem and not know where to turn to for help. Ignorance has no place here. I would like to think that anyone who finds this forum here is here for a reason, to try to find someone who has experienced the same problem who might be able to help them with some kind of advice. It would be a shame and a waste of time for someone who had nothing better to do than to come into this forum and just make comments on something that they have no understanding or knowledge in. It is just my opionion but I think people who has nothing good or worthy to comment on to others could have benefited from better discipline when they were younger.

My step son is bipolatr . I have found a great book called the Bipolat Child ByDemitiri Paplols MD & Janice Paplols. It help understanding but do not tell you what to do durring the uncontrolable rages episods.On the web I found a company called Brain matters. They show youa normal brain and a brain that is Bipolar.Dr Phil even had a show about bipolar
This a real prblem in the world today.
Tracy if your son is older he might be helped by a web called Bipolar Happends by Julie Fast. she help you throught mania depresssion and to find out what are the triggers.As an adult this can also help you se it in your son.
I know what you are going throught and you are not alone! I have been knocked to the ground , sworn at , and more. When he has calmed down he gets so mad at himself he wants to die.I was told to do a holding technique but that is hard!. You can get kicked in the face head butted. I do not think I can do it. My husband tried and ended up all black and bule and so did his son.The DCF gets call becuse they think YOU are hurting your kid. What is a parent to do??? He has beed in patient a few times. Right now life has been good. He can not have sugar in this house but ht occasonal hiolday treat . Vidoe time is limited to 3hrs. a day( , more tha I like but better than all day!!!
We give him Omega III = fish oil this was recomended by the healthfood store nutritianist. I was been moths since we have had a violent out burst...Thank GOD!!!
They are always changing his meds . He is 13 now so in puberty the body chemicals are always changing. Once that is done they will be able to regulate hime better. They say he could even grow out of it but it does not happen very often. The brain pattern can change ater puberty .
Sometimes I can tell he is building to a rage and try to overt him from whatever he is doing .Some times it is as simlple as touching him in the check and saying I love you know matter what.That has helped a few times.
I hope I have helped some. God belss you & give you peace!!

Could you put him in a treatment facility untill he levels out or the find the right combo of Rx to help him??? The problem with this behavior is that he could hurt you & himself. Let the police know you have a bipolar son at you r address so if they get a call in they might have aabetter Idea of how to handel the situation.Just call the non urgent number.
We have had DCS called on us because he got a bruse on his arm. He got it from him hitting my arm that was over my face.. nice right!!! Mean while I had bruses on my back leggs wrist arn neck...
He went inpatient for 4 weeks after that. When his mother when to visit him he tried to stab her with an unbrella.So he was in for another week.
Now the diet and the meds are working fairly well.
Sorry to go on & on but I want you to know you are not alone!!!
My God bless you and give you PEACE!!!

I'm not sure if my son is bipolar or not . but he is 16 and very angry with me . he says that he wants to be his own boss. he gets very angry and throws things breaks my stuff and threatens to hit me. he has nothing in his life to cause him to be like this. he went to a store and stole sandpaper to work on his car and he had over $200.00 IN HIS POCKET FROM HIS JOB. I DO EVERYTHING FOR HIM I CAN . PLEASE TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK. THANKS.

I have been bi-polar over 30 years now 61. Sounds to me like your kid needs some attention. Why don't you try some therapy with him? In the meantime let him spend a nite in juvenile hall if he continues to be beyond control.

My 16 year old son has bipolar and adhd, he was diagnosed around age 7 or 8. I know what you are going through. If you ever want to chat my yahoo is kstevars.
