[QUOTE="LastHope, post: 516016, member: 14181"] Midwest mom, I have not seen a neurophych but will def look into that. I'm unsure if they are certain of what Bipolar looks like in a young age myself - I just see 2 distinct personality types in her - one very aggressive, violent, defiant, and really mean and the other is sweet, lovable, energetic and all around happy. I have ready the Explosive Child - I think I've read it twice now LOL and we've tried the A, B and C baskets thing and ended up almost giving in to everything she had a fit over. I was suspect too of the 150 mg of Zoloft but went with the psychiatrist for 1 because I've just never had to deal with anything like this but also I was just looking for the super cure! The medication seems to have helped somewhat - it's taken her level of violence down from scratching, biting and punching us (her sister and I mostly) daily and throwing major fits where we have to drag her kicking and screaming out of stores to the occasional physical altercation (kicking another child at school, punching her sister in the stomach) but is still very defiant and disrespectful, very quick to become uber frustrated with anything that doesn't go exactly her way. I put a call into her pediatrician to see if I need to get a referral for a neuropsychologist and hopefully at least I can get an appointment for her there. Thanks so much for the advice! [/QUOTE]
