[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 12861, member: 1550"] The bipolar in the family is a huge red flag for bipolar. It's all over my family tree too. Seizures and bipolar can co-exist, and, although I havne't researched, I'll bet they are more common with bipolar. Some feel there is a connection between the too. My son is on the Spectrum and there are DEFINTELY more seizure disorders with children on the spectrum. These problems don't seem to exist alone, although they can. With the behaviors you're describing, I'm guessing that it's both. A mood stabilizer can be the same as an anti-seizure medication. Try one and see if it also helps the cycling. If the child is still acting out, you may need to add another medication. Epilepsy is also hereditary. My friend has it in spades in hers. Her mother had epilespy, she does, three of her sons do (one with grand mals) but NONE of them had erratic behaviors. So one doesn't mean the other. I wish you luck [img]:smile:[/img] [/QUOTE]
