[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 18025, member: 2423"] When she was picking and cutting, was she taking medications that made this behavior worse? When she was hospitalized for attempted suicide and paranoid delusions, was she on medications? If so, which medications? by the way, there are more than 3 symptoms of bipolar disorder, and there are no "tests" that definitively rule it in or out. BiPolar (BP) is a clinical diagnosis made after observing a child over several years. My own children are being treated as if they have BiPolar (BP) (with mood stabilizers), but we honestly won't know if they have it until they go through adolescence. For the moment, however, they are responding positively to BiPolar (BP) medications and therapeutic interventions. They are much improved from a year ago. And FWIW, I personally don't believe a child acts like this because she is stubborn and manipulative. I think there's a disorder going on that is causing her to behave this way. The trick is getting to the right doctors to make an accurate diagnosis and put the proper interventions into place. Hang in there. [/QUOTE]
