I'm a writer for Parents magazine who has been granted permission to post here. I'm writing an article about children with mood disorders, namely bipolar disorder, depression and oppositional defiant disorder. The purpose of the article is to educate parents about normal childhood behaviors and emotions - and ones that are atypical and might require help from a mental health professional.
The story will include profiles of 3 children (must be age 9 or younger) dealing with one of the disorders mentioned above, and I am hoping that some of you might be willing to share your child's story. For the profile, I will need to include your child's name, age, city/state, and possibly a photograph. If you are interested in participating in this story (or if you have any questions for me about the story), please contact me at:
