[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 384865, member: 2423"] You should google Dr. Ellen Leibenluft and read about the research being conducted at NIMH in Bethesda, MD. She and her research team do not believe that BiPolar (BP) in kids is all that different from that of teens and adults. They believe there is another childhood disorder called Severe Mood Dysregulation that is equally impairing but is not true BiPolar (BP). One thing you should know about the atypical antipsychotics like Zyprexa is that their effect can wear off and sometimes a higher dose is needed. My daughter has been on Zyprexa for 4 years (for an eating disorder, not meltdowns), and initially we had to go quite high to get her symptoms under control. Once her symptoms subsided, we were able to lower her to a maintenance dose. Something to consider. [/QUOTE]
