[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 573611, member: 1169"] I worked with a teenager many years ago who didn't get on Lithium until he was 15 and in - yet another - psychiatric hospital stay. I met him after he had been on Lithium several months. One day we were talking about what triggers would make him violent again...he thought for a while and said, "I think I only have one. If someone threatened to take away my Lithium, I think I would have to stop them. I love my life now, I never want to go back to how it was." He won multiple awards as a senior -- voted Valedictorian of his alternate HS by the teachers and homecoming king by his peers. Is your difficult child still in therapy? One thing he might need to work on is identifying various emotions. If he has spent years only feeling the extremes (mania/depression), he may need help with identifying the "feelings" all the ones in between. I'm so glad he is doing better! And at such a young age!
