[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 245392"] Grandiose thinking is a sign of mania. My guess is that some kids might have a slight tendency towards this. A certain amount of unrealistic thinking might be within reason. But to do it often and to do in in grand sweeping ways and not within any reasonable limits developmentally, in my mind is once again a sign of grandiose thinking and a possible sign of mania. My earlier point was it was the simultaneous administration of an antidepressant and a stimulant that was the big concern. The two together. Not the two separately. Together, from what I understand...could be an issue for many. For some, it could lead to mania...even serious cases of mania. I am not up to date on the mood stabilizers. This was a trial and error process for our daughter and family and certainly not an easy one by any means. Generally speaking, Lamictal has had many "pluses." We are very grateful for the medications that have helped to bring stablity into her life. She still has her complicated problems that are frustrating, but some of the major ones like raging, have been basically eliminated (knock on wood, crossing myself, etc.) and other things like grandiose thinking has been greatly inhibited due to good medications. CBT therapy has also been helpful...but our daughter no longer goes consistently. I am grateful that it was made available to her in the past and that she knows where she can go during life's major stressors. [/QUOTE]
