are they having troubles before or AFTER medication and how do you tell the difference between so called Bipolar symtoms and actual childhood development and or for example higher functional autistic syndromes? Do you really feel that medication of children is a viable option or is it just a new way to make money?

"Because we know there is something very poorly regulated in the central nervous system of these children."

False. Not true. Not scientifically proven. You are required to provide specifics of what that something is.You have no specifics, you are just guessing wildly. I got over the lightning rage. I learned to control it through force of will.

@MrSpemat mania is like being possessed is a shame...

I grew up with summer mania and hyperactivity and 2 classes of meds have "shut me up" since age 4, Depakote and Ritalin or Dexedrine and I adapt well as an adult on those meds but as a kid, I was a brat... those labels can enable a brat and as an adult be the "in the middle" advocate between doctors meds and diagnoses because they enable denial IMHO...

For all the people with rude comments....your narrow minded and ignorant. Who are you to think you know what it is like to live with bipolar. Lets just hope you dont grow old and develop dementia and get stuck with family or care person that doesn't get it and doesn't care. You will suffer as everyone of these families do. Lets hope you dont get in an accident that damages your mind so badly that you can no longer be self sufficient. Because Karma is a bitch!

There are many children suffering from bipolar. The Bipolar Child is an excellent source of information and solutions. The road is long and hard when raising a child with bp. Hang in there. Keep searching for the right care providers and be proactive!

I bought the bipolar child book WOW! My daughter was diagnosed with bipolar at 11 years. What a releif to finaly have some one say what is wrong. The dr gave her meds and sent us home. I bought the book on the way home. Until you are rasing a child with bipolar you have no idea!!!!

The problem is that these poor children are stuck in between arrogantly ignorant non-scientists and arrogantly ignorant mad scientists.

Everyone should fuck off and stop ruining the lives of these kids because you think that you have all of the fucking answers.

Parents who have a child with these problems are often in a very difficult position, but I will say that all of these psychotropic drugs promote chemical imbalances and brain abnormalities, even if they appear to be "working."

I read the book. What a revelation! We adopted a baby in 1980. We were baffled by behaviors that were not normal and could not be managed with regular parenting. My wife was a teacher and I did personnel work so we had good backgrounds for parenting. We struggled for years to find out what was going on! Eventually our daughter was diagnosed with bipolar and put on medication. It has made an absolute world of difference. How much better our lives would have been with that diagnosis at 5.
