[QUOTE="huskermom3, post: 60767, member: 3917"] First of all, thanks to all for your imput! It is so wonderful to hear that I should not be ignoring my daughter's pleas for help! The psychiatrist that she just started seeing is suppossed to be the head of the department and all he seems to be interested in is telling me how to stop her bad behavior. Although this is important, I keep thinking that someone should be listening to her about what is going on inside of her as to why she is doing the things that she does. She has had a lot of pain in the last year and needs to have someone help her sort it out. She is 13years old with the mentality of a 7 year old. I feel like I am drowning trying to sort out the differences in the behaviors of bipolar/aspergers/learning disabilities/and whatever else!!!! She does have an IEP and will be starting a new school in the fall. She attended a school for special needs children for the past 3 years but they really didn't do anything to help challenge her and she has not progressed at all academically the entire time that she was there. It is nice to hear that there are others that are experiencing voices as well. My child tells me that she hears me calling her all the time, even when I am not even around her. She also says that the 'voices' tell her to be mean to her brother(3)/sister(5). This is very concerning to me. The outburts toward the siblings got her put on seroquel. She has been on it for almost a month and says that the medication helps the voices be quieter, but they are still there. There are times during the middle of the afternoon that she actually asks for her midday dose to stop the voices. She has had an EEG several years ago and they didnt see anything alarming (I guess) now I am trying to fight for her to be able to have the testings to see exactly what we are dealing with. I have read and reread all of your responses....thanks again!!! I am still pretty overwhelmed here, but I am so grateful that I stumbled onto this site!!!!!!! [/QUOTE]
