dayton52;It may be the zoloft that's causing an issue. Until she gets to a therapeutic mood stabilizer dose you may want to speak to her p-doc about it. SSRI antidepressants tend to cause more of an issues for those diagnosed. I would suggest she do some individual therapy with a Psychologist that specializes in children/teens and an added bonus would be if the Psychologist specialized with working with persons diagnosed with a mood disorder. I would also watch what she eats and drinks. Processed foods and high sugar foods cause my mood to be more unstable. There is a great book called the Food Mood Solution by Jack Challem which I found very helpful.

Group therapy can have that affect on a person and for a 15 year old I think you would be better off having her in individual therapy. I did 2 years of group therapy and it really helped me, but I was 31 when I was diagnosed.

As far as medications every person is different and it unfortunately tends to be a trial and error process. It's very frustrating, but it's worth it when one finds a good combo. The book in my signature is for spouses, family members of those diagnosed. You may want to read it. The more educated you are on this illness the better you can help your daughter.

I'm truly sorry that your daughter is struggling with the illness and I hope she feels better soon
