[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 734402, member: 1550"] Just a heads up. Doctor's often call any bad, unstable behavior bipolar. Many doctors don't know that much about personality disorders. In time that should change. Bipolar alone, which I have a mild form of, is controllable quite well with medication and doesn't cause meanness. I am not mean. If medications don't work, chances are you are possibly dealing with either antisocial personality disorder (aversion to rules, abuse, tricky, not nice or caring unless it serves them, lack of empathy), narcisism (love of self more than anyone, lack of empathy, abuse, vile behavior) or borderline personality disorder (moody as hell but moody anger does not go away with medications, nice one minute and horrible the next, fear of being alone, self harm, lack of empathy and very often misdiagnosed as bipolar or co existing with bipolar). Horrid behavior that is off the charts with no caring is not bipolar, and won't go away with medications. These Cluster B personality disordered people need to know they are sick and gets years of therapy to change. It is not a parent's fault if a child develops this. Safety is important with this. All three can co exist with bipolar but the bipolar is quite treatable. Watch out for your interaction with your son and maybe I am wrong (shrug). These personality disorders are more new and many doctors are not as familiar with them as bipolar so patients are nabbed as bipolar when it isn't true or is not the whole picture. And personality disordered people can be dangerous. I have borderline in my family. It is very difficult. Love and light. [/QUOTE]
