[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 51470, member: 1550"] Hi there. First off, he's on a lot of medications, even for bipolar. Secondly, if he has bipolar at all, even with co-morbid ADHD, antidepressants can worsen his condition significantly--even one antidepressant, and he's on two of them. ADHD medications can also worsen bipolar. Lots of parents of BiPolar (BP) kids treat the bipolar and let the ADHD symptoms go, sometimes they are a symptom of childhood mania. Has he ever been on simply a mood stabilizer or has he always also been on an antidepressant or stimulant too? There is a Katie Beckett law in many states--help for kids with psychiatric problems. You should see if your state participates in this. Also, if you get disability for your child, you also automatically get Medical Assistance, despite your monetary status. Each state is different though. [/QUOTE]
