Due to this other than using some anti phycotic medicines and anti =depressents that are used for adah and bipolar etc there is no other help over here. I do believe that some therapy for children with bipolar would be helpful. Letting a child talk to an adult out of the home that can help teach the child to try to control or even recognise what is happening to them would help the child, parents and siblings. Get with the times uk!!! In the meantime I will have to get by being ignored and misunderstood until my 6 year old is 17! good luck to you all I truly understand your struggle with your kids xxxx My son has been diagnosed with adhd even though the doctors do not believe this is the problem, they agree it is likely to be bipolar but in the uk this can not be diagnose until much older, we are way behind!

He might need a male to talk to, someone that he is close to and trusts. Sometimes it is hard for a teen male to confide in a female. My son is 26 and as we speak of the past he lets me know how he felt. Just a thought.Please keep you eyes and ears open, sometimes abuse can come from a person you never expect. May God help your grandson. Gerri You might see if anyone has physically or sexually abused him or is someone being mean to him at school.

He has begun to actually be violent with siblings and his mother. He has been verbally abusive to them and especially her before but it is escalating. He is suddenly getting poor grades in school .

We tried medication, it made him tired and even more moody then he already was. I saw a program on PBS on bipolar children and he fit the criteria. He is constantly over reacting to the point of violance and verbal abuse. I am at my wits end. Any advice?... other then, to take him to his family doctor who just sends him to doctor's who don't know what to do. We are in Canada in the province of Ontario.
