[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 304925, member: 1514"] If you have no reason to believe drugs are a problem, I would trust your gut. Late teens to early 20s are a prime time for what is known as adult onset bipolar to rear its head. She could also have early onset bipolar but have been able to get along ok this far with everyone kind of avoiding setting her off. Maybe before this you had heard her called hyper or difficult or high maintenance. How bout "strong willed?" Those are some of the things we heard about my son and also things my mom got told I was. I hope you can find a good doctor to guide you. I would also look into finding a very good therapist for both you and your daughter. Medication is one key but also learning to manage your behavior from within is important. Both are very important tools in gaining control over a health condition that is chronic and life altering but that can be managed so that a person can have a fairly normal and satisfying life.
