I truly get it. I'm sorry this is happening to both of you. Do both of you have therapists, that sounds like where you need to start. My daughter has BP as well as myself. She would go into horrible rages. Completely destroying her room, cutting. There were times I had to call the police because she was totally unmanageable. Broke my heart.

I too have a very special bond with her. We are very tight. She's 27 now and was diagnosed at 18 but showed signs at about 11-12.

She's good now. Very stable on Latuda. She's very high functioning, has a great job, went to college, very independent and is aware of her triggers and when her mood is changing. I'm so proud of her.

It's going to be a rough road but you and your son MUST get support or it will get a lot worse before it gets beter. He's very young and it's going to be really hard for him to manage
