Why would you allow your husband to usurp what the doctor suggests? Since you do not want to try medication it is a safe alternative. Think about the distress you are allowing your daughter to suffer. You have a duty as her mother to help her. What is your husband's issue with melatonin or meds? Is he the one who is up with her all night? If you have bipolar and are worried that your daughter also has a mental illness then she needs to see a psychiatrist. Early intervention is what sets a kid up for success. My last daughter was suicidal and went inpatient at age 11, It was the best thing that could have happened. She got therapy and meds and has developed really good skills now.
