I agree that a low stress environment does wonders… Whenever I have to go into a high stress environment, my symptoms start acting up more.

Just remember who wrote those abstracts, funded by the drug company which drug was being researched, and using Joseph Biederman as an example, who is directly influencing the paradigm the last decade, who, under investigation by Senator Grassley for non disclosure of a LOT of money, who again was investigated for the protocol breach in the child Risperdal trial---the "text book" definition of "child" bipolar is non-existent, the drugging of kids is based on adult criteria, the pediatric dx was fully-loaded marketing from pharma and out of control. With such intricate detailed information on hidden, buried, skewed and corrupt studies, I find it hard to imagine anyone believing their child is "bipolar" any longer. These kids STILL grow up. Some don't (Rebecca Riley for one, Destiny age 3 another), some are permanently damaged from the drugs (ie PBS Medicated Child), and some end up like my daughter, where no one wants to, in a state of limbo, with permanent body damage, possible brain damage from the drugs doctors told her she needed so she wouldn't kill herself. But, the pediatric bipolar paradigm will long live, even with the new DSM-5 adding TDD (Temper Dysregulation)as a possible way to deter the dx from happening to kids--face it the child is a dollar sign in this business, the mother's are too. Most always it's the moms in these appointments with kids, and half of the moms come out on 'coping' drugs. “text book definition”.

These kids STILL grow up. Some don’t (Rebecca Riley for one, Destiny age 3 another), some are permanently damaged from the drugs (ie PBS Medicated Child), and some end up like my daughter, where no one wants to, in a state of limbo, with permanent body damage, possible brain damage from the drugs doctors told her she needed so she wouldn’t kill herself.

But, the pediatric bipolar paradigm will long live, even with the new DSM-5 adding TDD (Temper Dysregulation)as a possible way to deter the dx from happening to kids–face it the child is a dollar sign in this business, the mother’s are too. Most always it’s the moms in these appointments with kids, and half of the moms come out on ‘coping’ drugs.
