[QUOTE="Crysci, post: 307219, member: 8090"] Hi, I'm new here too, and this was the first post I read because while my daughter is almost 14 now, we started to get help for her when she was 2 1/2. Yes, we had the same difficulties, although she didn't swear, she said a lot of other mean stuff! Tried to smother her newborn niece when she was 7mo. old (trust me, she meant to sit on her face) and I caught her about to whack her 9yr old brother over the head with a wooden doll highchair while he was sitting peacefully watching tv. (she was 5 and he never found out about it) She was diagnosed bipolar not otherwise specified when she was 4, been on many medications with no good results and we are currently looking at Borderline Personality Disorder and some of the sub-disorders in that category. Her dad is a perfect description of Antisocial personality disorder. I am dumbfounded that all these years we may have wasted on the wrong diagnosis and treatment, however, I do believe you are wise to seek help so soon. I can't imagine all the other problems she would have had if we didn't, more than she already has. At the time she was diagnosed 10 years ago, bipolar disorder was just being accepted as an illness in small children, and seems we are on that same time frame for Borderline. I'm so very tired and want to see some answers and good results for her. I have 2 sons who do not have these problems either and are very loving and caring. She is not, but to small children who give her attention and cute animals till they make her mad. Good luck to you! I'm off to find a forum for our specific needs now. Krissy in Texas [/QUOTE]
