[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 186158, member: 2423"] Structure -- same mealtimes and bedtime, familiar environments and expectations -- is in and of itself mood-regulating. That's why day treatment programs and inpatient psychiatric hospitals have familiar routines day by day, week by week. When my son has too little to do (like right now, the week before school starts), he becomes bored, irritable and a bit depressed. When he's involved in exciting new activities he's been looking forward to, he can become over-the-top enthusiastic and expansive (although this happens less now that he's on mood stabilizers). I think kids with mood disorders are very sensitive to outside stimuli. [/QUOTE]
