[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 243593, member: 2423"] Robin, I'm a member of an online support group of parents of children with bipolar disorder. Several of the teen girls are taking birth control pills to both regulate their cycles as well as regulate their moods. Their parents report that it does indeed make the PMS around menstruation a whole lot better. I think you should talk it over with both her new psychiatrist and her pediatrician to see what they both think. With the use of birth control, there should also be a lot of talk about responsible sexual activity. You should provide her with your values -- whatever they may be -- about premarital sex and about emotional readiness. While the birth control pill certainly helps prevent an unwanted pregnancy, it doesn't prevent sexually transmitted diseases. Your daughter needs to be made aware of that fact and be told about taking precautions about disease. [/QUOTE]
