I am classified as a "child" still even though I am 16. I have schizoaffective disorder now, but my original diagnosis a year ago was bipolar.

I think the most frustrating part of this, being in the child position, is the medication aspect. Its hard to treat children because a lot of the medications come with bad side effects or can't be used on anyone under 18. It was also hard finding a balance between who you can tell and who you can't tell without complicating things.

Anyways, if you ever want to ask me any questions, go right ahead! I might be able to help a little bit with the child aspect of things.
