[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 258628, member: 1550"] I have an idea. Why not purchase "The Bipolar Child" by Dimitri and Janice Papalos online from Amazon and see if it matches up to your daughter. At the same time you may want to look into Aspergers. I can give you the name of a good author. [url]www.tonyattwood.com[/url] This way you can do your own research (half of us in the US have to do this anyway--not all of our doctors are the greatest...lol) and maybe you can take some ideas from the books, if something rings a bell, and apply it to your daughter. Just a short while back, even in the US doctors insisted that you can't get bipolar until you are 18. I don't know what made 18 a magic number. I was born with a mood disorder (which is a form of bipolar). I was NEVER a happy child, had phobias of all sorts from toddlerhood (I remember being terrified of bandages at age four, nosebleeds at six, etc). It puzzles me when doctors put a magic number on a disorder. That delays treatment. Way back in the dinosaur days, when I was a kid, I got NO help and I suffered. I did not get any treatment or medication until I was 23 years old. And, yes, my parents were told "it's because of your parenting." Now my parents were not the greatest, but I knew it wasn't because of them. I instinctively knew I had been born this way----different. So blaming them for my nervousness, moodswings, and general miserable-ness was not something that I did. In fact, I could see some of me in both of them, but neither were as extreme. You came to a good place. We'll do all we can bouncing ideas at ya ;) [/QUOTE]
