I'm thinking mid-late teens as things seem to be getting harder for him as he gets older. I don't think we have a hand-in-hand relationship more then any 11 yr old.

My Dad has Bipolar as well as myself. If he's anything like me, he'll grow up to be a smart kid. 11 is quite young to get a bipolar diagnosis. If I had known that early as a kid, I might have grown up to be much better at handling it. The healthcare system does have solutions. It can take a long time though to get a handle on things, however.
