[QUOTE="insanemomoffour, post: 49075, member: 3652"] wow, it is great to know that others feel and think like me. Sometimes I don't post anything because I am afraid of offending someone. But I too was diagnosis BiPolar (BP) as well as my 16 yo. I do have hx of family mood disorders and depression, and many others as well. I just get to thinking sometimes that maybe therapy isn't the right thing to do all the time. It does seem to make things worse not always, but sometimes. medications seem to help, except with me, I feel better so I tend to "forget" to take them and then the spiral begins. Or do I think it does? I don't mean to put anyone on the defensive or want to cause anyone to doubt their tx plan I just wanted to ask the question. I find it interesting that studies do show the increase of chance of passing it from parent to child, but also, we as parents are the greatest influence on our child. Can/could we be teaching bad coping skills,lack of anger management etc and hence the diagnosis bipolar comes. My difficult child has a great psychiatric, he isn't the one who diagnosis bipolar, actually doesn't want to put that label on him. But since there is no true test to prove the diagnosis like there is for high cholesterol=blood work/labs, what can the true measurement/test for bipolar be? I do not want to make anyone think that I doubt true bipolar. It is a troublesome thing to live with if not treated correctly and maybe this is all part of me being in denial and wanting a way out of the world of...diagnoses.(pardon the spelling). [/QUOTE]
