[QUOTE="Janna, post: 7988, member: 2737"] Nomad's suggestion of the Bipolar Child is a good one. They also have a website: [url="http://www.bipolarchild.com."]www.bipolarchild.com.[/url] If your difficult child is Bipolar, your best bet is probably going to be starting a mood stabilizer first. Antipsychotics (Risperdal, Abilify, Seroquel) work for the short term, but are not effective for the long haul. And ADHD alot of times does run comorbid with Bipolar, but Bipolar kiddos really can't take ADHD medications. It stimulates them. My son, Dylan, started out as ADHD/ODD. He's been given varying diagnosis over time, to finally be stable with a Bipolar diagnosis and on Bipolar medication. It's a long road, though, and takes alot of patience. Hang in there and welcome.
