[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 133452, member: 2423"] The therapist is wrong. According to the book [I]The Bipolar Child[/I] and our own child psychiatrists, Geodon can activate kids and cause mania. From [I]The Bipolar Child[/I] (page 110): "The medication can induce an odd kind of overarousal (this may be seen at lower doses and not higher doses; however, a number of parents have written to us about anxiety and maniclike reations to the drug)." Having said that, I think you should take your difficult child for a second opinion with a child psychiatrist and further explore the question of whether your difficult child has a bipolar-like mood disorder.
