[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 714561, member: 1550"] I dont know. I had diagnoses of bipolar and depression not otherwise specified. Mood disorders are different and the same. Some are severe. Mine is. It took me ten years to find the right medication. One thing is exactly the same. All mood disorders are controllable on medications and therapy. It can take time and persistence to get stable. But it is possible if you try. A mood disorder that is moderate to severe does not get better on its own. Mild mood disorders can sometimes be managed with exercise/just therapy. I am thinking that this daughter actually sounds a bit like borderline personality disorder, which is not so treatable (although it is if one tries hard in therapy...there are no medications for the disorder). They often co-exist or borderline can wrongly be diagnosed as bipolar due to crazy mood swings. However borderlines tend to be mean, not bipolars. And, adad, i agree we should have empathy for mental illness. At the same time, it is no excuse for abuse or refusal to get treatment. [/QUOTE]
