[QUOTE="keista, post: 466458, member: 11965"] YES!!!!!!!!!!!! Well, not exactly, but close. I Baker Acted DD1 while she was on Abilify. She's 10. She had always had her moods and tantrums, and also strange episodes which were due to an SSRI, but she had never been seriously defiant, aggressive or made a serious suicide threat. (mild forms of these yes). Anyway she became all 3 after being on Abilify for about 2 1/2 months. Before that day, the Abilify seemed to agitate her. She was constantly in her "extreme boredom" state (a mixed state of agitation and depression). Considering how manipulative your daughter is, it's difficult to accept the fact that she may refuse medications, but in this case, I wouldn't argue with her at all. 1. You don't think this is good for her either, 2. If you force her to continue an obviously poor choice of medication, it will make it that much harder to get he to take something different that might really help. Is she still on ADD medications? If she doesn't have ADD those medications could cause some of this behavior (overall, not the recent episode). Haozi is correct that depression can manifest in rages, but she sounds WAY to manipulative to be depressed. I'm sure she has such episode, but it's certainly not the whole picture. Is there a specific reason why she hates staying with her Mom? How long have you been apart? 6th grade is puberty time. Is that when the behaviors started. or did you notice things earlier? The family dynamic is probably not the cause of all of this, but can certainly be a contributing factor. Puberty on the other hand, can be the trigger for some serious disorders. by the way Welcome to the board!:notalone: [/QUOTE]
