[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 107863, member: 1157"] I've been told, by inpatient doctors and therapists, that there is indeed a honeymoon period in a hospital. I don't think, however, it's likely to last for two weeks. It's more like 2 or 3 days, just enough time for an insurance company to declare them "stable" and discharge them. My youngest used to be able to hold it together, somewhat, at school as well.. the book "The Bipolar Child" discusses this ... it gave me great comfort, as I kept hearing from others that *I* must be the problem, since she only acted out at home. Speaking of insurance, I don't see how your psychiatrist can commit to a 2 week hospitalization. Only once has insurance covered my child for more than a week (usually it was 3 days) .. and that was in an extreme circumstance, at a teaching hospital. [/QUOTE]
