For the last month or so, I've been asking for advice regarding my 15 year old daughter who just was diagnosed bipolar. She's been in the hospital 3 times over the month, twice due to suicide threats. This last time, a doctor raised her seroquel to 700 mg a day and we are seeing really good results so far. She's starting to resume her interests, get back to school, etc. I know this is a live-long issue for her, but the last few days have been good.

I want to thank all of you for your support, advice, and words of encouragement. It really helps.
Thanks for this!
