Bipolar Disorder Support Group
Bipolar disorder is not just a single disorder, but a category of mood disorders marked by periods of abnormally high energy and euphoria, often accompanied by bouts of clinical depression. This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.

Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
And as young as she is , many Dr's , psychiatrists , are hesitant to give certain meds to young people .
Although Benadryl is used in psychiatric Hospitals to calm patients down.
On DS, there is a Group, specifically for Family And Friends Of Bipolar .
You may have more luck finding help over there
HUGS !
and good luck

Is a wonderful book. I used it for our autistic/bipolar child when he was about 10-17 years old. He is now 22 and I still refer to it.
Cheers
