I just got back from the doctor with my 10 year old daughter. He diagnosed her as bipolar and gave her a prescription for Lamictal. Are there any parents with bipolar children out there? I'm a little confused and (I hate to admit) relieved........ up to now people have acted like I'm a bad parent and she'd be fine if I could just be a good parent! If there's any parents of children that are bipolar, I'd be interest to hear your story........
Thanks! Jaclynann

I would be interested too. Our local support group is reaching out to the parents of children with mental illnesses.
