Close Bipolar Disorder
My daughter was diagnosed w/ bipolar at 12 years old. I always knew something was wrong w/ her, since she was born. When I found out that she had bipolar disorder, my whole life changed. There is not a day that goes by, that we deal w/ this. Some are good, others are bad. I will continue to be by her side, no matter what! God gave me this precious child!! Some people in our lives, and outside of our lives do not quite understand what bipolar is. They mock, and make fun of bipolar people. I feel like I have to defend bipolar, because, I have lived and watched my daughter struggle through life. The battle never ends, only it makes us stronger. She is a tough person, she knows her limitations, and also hates the way society has painted an ugly picture of bipolar. I want to let her know she is not alone!!!
Treatments
- Wellbutrin Working / Worked
- My daughter was treated w many drugs. It took 2.5 years to find the right combination of medications before she finally adjusted to two. Wellbutrin which is an antidepressant does not make her drowsey and is able to concentrate w it.
- Positive Thinking Working / Worked
- She had to go to residential treatment for 2.5 years. Out of that 2.5 years she was in two different treatment centers. The 2nd treatment center was a complete success. She was taught many ways on how to cope w her illness.
- Lamictal Working / Worked
- Lamictal is a mood stabilizer it works well w her other medication. AUSOME med. This med gave her a new life and a new way of thinking w both meds she can think clearly and make rational decisions.
