[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 112321, member: 2423"] Martie, thanks, as always, for sharing your perspective. I always value your insight because you have definitely been there done that. What gets my son closer to a BiPolar (BP) diagnosis, I think, is that he has had two full-blown manic episodes -- one induced by taking 25 mg Zoloft for three weeks at age 12 and one very recently induced by anxiety over attending the day treatment program in which we have placed him. The first episode responded to a therapeutic level of Depakote. The second episode is slowly responding to Zonegran and Seroquel. In the past, he has also had bad reactions to Celexa, Prozac and Lexapro. The psychiatrists are in agreement that he needs treatment with mood stabilizers and/or atypical antipsychotics at this point. It is also interesting to note that Dr. Ellen Leibenluft at NIMH is doing research on the very issue of how to differentiate BiPolar (BP) from other childhood mood disorders. [/QUOTE]
