One of the shows that will be on: Bipolar Mysteries: Families in Crisis
Premieres Thursday, May 6 @ 9 p.m. In this hour, we follow four families raising children diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder - a single mother whose 7--year-old son, Chase, has been hospitalized six times for a total of over 150 days; a grandmother raising four kids diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder, a little girl, Samantha, who was diagnosed at age 3, and Kelsey, a courageous pre-teen who heroically manages her moods, even as she faces the intensifying social pressures in school.

Last I checked the whole diagnosing children with bipolar thing was still a little controversial. I'm not sure how I feel about it. If everyone who knew my brother and I when we were children was asked to guess which of us would be bipolar I'm pretty sure everyone would have immediately answered wrong.
My brothers emotions were always on the surface. He was jumping up and down excited, quiet for hours or having a severe red-faced, point-of-no-return, total melt-down. As an adult he is so normal it's boring. They thought one of my cousins was bipolar when he was little because he threw such extreme tantrums. Now he is pretty much the most typical, average 13-year-old boy I've ever seen. As far as I can tell his main "moods" are annoyed, electronic social networking and boobs. Sorry if that went off on a tangent. I'm curious about other people's thoughts on the idea. |

Just from my experience my Pdoc. and T suspected it for a few years but they waited until I was over 18 to diagnosis me with it because they said it could have been hormones raging or something like that. I don't remember

The reason I wasn't diagnosed until twenty-two was because they gave me a psych test at sixteen suspecting bipolar (family history plus I was depressed) and told me I wasn't BPD. I probably would have figured it out sooner if they hadn't taken it off the radar screen.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
