Janet,
I always let them know that I am bi-polar. They always say they don't want to put a label on a child so young. Same answer across the board. I don't understand it. I had a therapist tell me that he watches her rapid cycle in an hour many times. yet he's not the Dr so no diagnosis.
Susie, she took risperdal and it helped but she gained so much weight in 3 months they took her off of it. I will be more direct than I have been. It's not that they intimidate me but then they start acting like I am a pain in the rear and because of my diagnosis I think they have a right to make me feel that way. Like we know she's going to be a problem.
