Hi Everyone,

I hope you are all well. I noticed there is quite a bit of info on here for adult bipolar, but haven't found anything much about childhood bipolar. Maybe I'm not looking deep enough.

My wonderful, loving 7yr grandson is at the moment in a childrens hospital and going through a battery of testing and medication changes. The Pdoc has dx'd him with bipolar, ADHD and OCD. He had a previous dx from the school pyschologist of ODD, PTSD and possible bipolar. My daughter and I question the ADHD since it presents very similar to bipolar.

I purchased 2 books for my daughter and I to read, "The Bipolar Child" and "The Ups and Downs of Raising a Bipolar Child". They were both very informative and helped my daughter to understand that she wasn't alone in what she is going through.

If anyone out there has any experience in this area, I would love to hear from you.

Thanks in advance for reading and/or posting! God Bless you all!
