[QUOTE="neednewtechnique, post: 73253, member: 3527"] lostwkids, Welcome to the board, I know that most of us who have come here have found this place just at the right time when we, too, were in desperation, ready to give up. As a major in psychiatric, I am sure you have read about things like this, but reading about it and actually LIVING it is a totally different world. Has your friend's son ever been put on any medication? I am guessing since you know he is bipolar that someone has evaluated him and I am wondering if they explored the option of medication, and if so, maybe what he is taking isn't the right thing for him. I know that I am not the only one that will make this suggestion, but tell your friend to go and pick up a copy of "The Explosive Child" by Dr. Ross Greene. This book has helped SO MANY of us with our children and she will find lots of helpful hints in there, as well as some GREAT information that will help her understand what is going on with her son.

I would also encourage your friend to join our board and get involved with us. In addition to all the advice our members offer, there is a GREAT SUPPORT system here.
