Close Bipolar Disorder

Hi, Our son was diagnosed with Early Onset BiPolar Disorder at age 5 yrs. old and was suspect of condition at 2 yrs old. He is now 8 yrs. old and we struggle through all the Comobidities that come with this great little guy. ADHD, Obsessive Disorder, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Tourette ticking, and "absence" seizures. This has been a wild ride for me and I so need support from others who are walking this same road. Sincerely, 1coping

Treatments

Trileptal Somewhat Helpful

Calmed him a bit, notable change is no more tension in the air. with increase dose however, head turning and major ticking. lower dose eased ticking but he still has it to a degree. Because of recent seizure dose is up higher and notice he is more hyper and more defiant. But will wait and see if this is only an adjustment period.

Tenex Working / Worked

Slowed down his rapid thoughts. Thought he might have a learning disability because he couldnt grasp the concept of math... after Tenex praise God... He was excited that he could do math like the other kids!
