[QUOTE="seriously, post: 457910, member: 11920"] I neglected to say that anxiety can be a symptom of bipolar and/or a comorbid condition. If her anxiety seems to vary along with the silliness I would be leaning toward mood swings to some degree. In which case the more typical treatment would be an atypical antipsychotic and maybe something in addition for the anxiety. I am strongly opposed to kids being given mind-altering medications by people who are NOT trained to do that. A nurse practitioner, in my opinion, has absolutely no business prescribing psychiatric medications to a child with a strong family history of major psychiatric illness. A general practitioner doctor does not have the training to do so either. PLEASE get your child to a child psychiatrist before you consider further treatment. [/QUOTE]
