Well, I can't say that has happened in our case. I am still not convinced that the Lithium has helped anything at all. And you know what happened with the lamictal...
BUT Q's mood instability is from a brain injury and not a chemical imbalance so I don't really know that anything I have to say, even if the symptoms can look similar, really matters much (in terms of relate-ability that is)
any chance of a new psychiatrist? Someone who is more familiar with childhood bipolar and willing to listen to you overall better. I mean you told this one for quite a while that there were serious issues and it took a long time to get her into this program. Are you comfortable with this doctor?
by the way, Did you meet the case manager?
