[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 247718"] Hi Dr. Riley!. I've been around here for many years, but read sporadically and have missed your posts. My concerns have centered around my now young adult "child," adopted as an infant and diagnosed early with Bipolar Disorder and ADHD. Throughout her years in school "explosions" were a common thing, particularly in the classroom. I especially could have used your book at that time. I thought it was interesting that you said that there has been an explosion of explosions. I understand diagnosis's of bipolar illness are also on the rise. Approximately one year ago, our daughter moved out into an apartment. Approximately one year ago, I began graduate studies in the mental health field. I will soon start my field work! It's hard to believe! Much of what you said resonated with me...for example...the difficulty adapting to change in routine. However, you said CBT is often not helpful. Same with Exposure Therapy. Then, what is? We tried medication and CBT. This, along with time, created some in roads. Today, she does not tend to "explode," when having difficulties. She does have mood swings. Disordered thinking is still prevalent. It's highly likely that I will get your book. Thank you also for the other book suggestions. That explosive behavior is heart wrenching for child, parent and all those in the presence of the child. It was nice to meet you. [/QUOTE]
