[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 25666, member: 1550"] What is a PDR? She sounds kind of nutty, thinking that a child ALWAYS should live with Mom. I worked for a group of therapists and they bring their own opinions and issues to the table (and the ones I worked for had BIG issues). I'd want her to see a neuropsychologist and a Psychiatrist (with the MD). If there is substance abuse or mood disorders in the family, those are big red flags for bipolar. I have Bipolar II, and medications have been miraculous for me. I haven't gone to therapy since they kicked in, haven't needed to. However, your stepdaughter has lead such a chaotic life I'd want her tested on all fronts. The wrong medications CAN make people worse. The right ones can change their lives for the better. I'm living proof of that. Teen mania can look a lot like ADHD. Not diagnosing, just hoping you get another evaluation with a more credentialed professional, or even two!!! [/QUOTE]
