[QUOTE="Peaceful, post: 111341, member: 4459"] She's what's know as an ultra-ultra rapid cycler. She's very predictable and cycles daily between 1 and 8 pm. The cycles are much more under control now. Mania isn't as high and no seasonal depression this year which is great because there's no need to be real concerned with suicide this year. I'm not sure if you're familiar with Dr. Robert Findling? He's an expert on early onset bipolar disorder. She's been evaluated by his team and is under the care of his colleague right now. She's been with him for 2 years. She was with a different psychiatrist from 6 - 11. We're in Cleveland, OH. She's been to the top neuro's and been evaluated every which way from Sunday. They all agree she's one of the most difficult cases they've seen. But her medications are good right now for the BiPolar (BP). She was stable for 3 yrs when she was 9 - 11. Then, like you said, she grew and needed a medication change. Once the BiPolar (BP) destabilized, it took 2 years to stabilize her again. She hasn't started her cycle yet and is nowhere near according to the pediatrician. She's a late bloomer. When she does, she'll be placed on birth control to avoid monthly mood swings due to her hx of suicide attempts etc. She won't have more than 2 or so periods per year and we'll try to time them during the summers when she's more content. She has case management services from a county organization. I co-facilitate a mental health support group for caregivers and it's been wonderful for me. No one has experience with the courts though. We feel we have to do this to keep the family safe. I like knowing and being proactive instead reactive though as much as I can. Peaceful [/QUOTE]
