[QUOTE="WiseChoices, post: 750790, member: 24254"] Hi! You are dealing with a lot there. My DC2 self diagnosed with bipolar and then convinced her therapist and psychiatrist that it was so and got medications for it. An anti depressant and a mood stabilizer. One of those pills was supposed to be $1000 a month (Latuda) and she didn't like how she felt on it and quit. The disease of alcoholism (whether the bodily part of an allergy to alcohol is present or not) plays out as restlessness, discontentedness, and irritability and I see this present in my DC1 more than any diagnosis I have ever heard. The treatment, of course, are the 12 steps, a spiritual remedy for a spiritual malady, but my Difficult Child does not have an addiction problem other than cutting and bingeing. I have seen good videos of young bipolar patients on YouTube who manage their illness extremely well with medication and life management skills but this implies the patient wants help and will actively participate in managing the disease. Therapy of course is another given in this equation to help with emotional regulation . I have researched and read so much over the years when it should be my Difficult Child who figures out how to help herself. [/QUOTE]
