[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 114037, member: 2423"] JJJ, I'm not walking in your shoes, but I have lived through three kids experiencing manic reactions to SSRIs, and my kids can now articulate how truly out of control they felt at those times. Clearly, the psychiatrist thinks he's treating mania -- and Kanga's behavior certainly sounds manic -- or he wouldn't be prescribing Depakote. There's nothing rationale about mania so I think it's doubtful Kanga would be able to fully appreciate the severity of what she did or show appropriate remorse. But only you and your doctors can know that for sure. In the cases of my kids, we secured the environment so everyone was safe, but my kids weren't able to do homework or chores until they were stable on medications. Frankly, they were very ill until their medications took effect. In fact, my son is currently in a PHP, and as we work on his medications, we are not expecting him to do homework or household chores. We do expect him to take his medications, participate in therapy and accept consequences if he engages in unsafe behavior. Again, I speak from my own experience, and only you can know what Kanga can handle at this point. I wish you luck in finding Kanga appropriate help. [/QUOTE]
