[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 496853, member: 1233"] First off, the psychiatrist isn't listening. in my opinion that alone means you should fire her and hire a new one. Or make her take difficult child home for a few MONTHS. Given your other thread about this am and calling the cops, is there a family friend your older daughter could stay with while she prepares for her auditions? Somewhere that would be calmer, with relatives or friends' parents that you know and trust? It might make a big difference to your older daughter. NOT permenently move out, just for a few weeks to get away from the gfgness? Now, as for bipolar. Go to the store and get a copy of The Bipolar Child. It wll apply to your daughter. Celexa isn't good for bipolar, antidepressants may produce short term benefit but long term cause cycling. This psychiatrist is an idiot if she says the primary symptom of bipolar is staying up for days. Lots of us can list people who are bipolar and never did this. Importantly, that is NOT in the DSM as the primary symptom of bipolar. Or not all types of bipolar. Kids are very different. The Bipolar Child has the dsm guidelines and has the approved medication protocol that works - approved by the board of psychiatry that certifies psychiatrists. I am sorry it is so rough. I don't like docs hwo don't listen. Esp who don't listen to parents. Do you have a Parent Report? It is a document YOU create that has ALL the info on difficult child in one place. The Warrior Moms who were here before me came up with an outline for a Parent Report. in my opinion it is the MOST POWERFUL tool a parent can have to help a difficult child. the link in my signature wll take you to the thread that describes it and has the outline. I would start on one so that you can get the best help for difficult child that is possible. She will be 18 before you know it and then you don't have nearly the options to help her, or the time, because she can keep you out of all of her info and appts but still won't be ready to support herself.
