Commonly question about The Bipolar Teen: What You Can Do to Help Your Child and Your Family

Question :

Potential Bipolar teen?

hello, My dad has severe Bipolar, my mom has mild Bipoler (mom cant hold a relationship, the abandoned me to run off with her ninth husband). My Theripist says they is a great chance i am to. He says i show the major signs of it, but he cant accuratly diagnose me becuse bipolar symptoms are similar to teenage hormones (i think this is beyond hormones). I am a fourteen year old girl. I have lost many friend sbecause of my "mood swings" Can someone tell me the chances of getting bipolar. If i am should i be medicated. My dad (severly bipolar) takes meds, when he doesnt he is suicidal or extreemly, well i guess hyper is he best word for it. So what do u think
Answer :
In your case there is a likelihood you ll develop bi-polar disorder as both of your parents have been diagnosed that way. Bi-polar disorder does respond well to treatment and you could consider it a bit like diabetes - as along as someone with diabetes takes their medication properly they are symptom free. Bi-polar is more complicated but you can live well with it. Many famous people have bi-polar and it is often associated with creativity and energy. Just take care with yourself, keep in touch with your therapist who is quite right to be reluctant to diagnose you as in some ways this could be a self-fulfilling prophesy. "If my parents had it, I ll get it" and so you constantly create situations which reinforce your self view. If you are naturally and normally down, you will be tempted to think this is depression associated with bi-polar; if cheerful then I must be manic!

Try and anticipate mood swings and avoid situations where your mood swings interfere with relationships. You know when you are in an unusual mood so at such times find somewhere quiet.

Good luck.
Question :

Normal behavior for a bipolar teen or is there something else going on?

I work with at risk foster teens. I have a 15 year old girl that I work with that is diagnosed as being bi polar. Recently, like the last month and a half she has been making up having medical problems after medical problems such as knee problems to faking she had the flu and making her self throw up. She has also been making up The excuse in school that she has stomach aches so she can get out of class and just rest in the nurses office. She is now to the point of burning her forehead with a straight iron and saying that she does not know where they are coming from. I am with her every day from the time she gets off the bus until she goes to bed. She loves going to the doctor and having any apointments. It seems to be obvious attention seeking behavior, but what I have been questioning is, is if this is normal bipolar behavior or if there is more to this. She is already taking 7 diff mess but she seems to be getting worse in trying to get to the dr for any reason. She has avoidance issues as far as school work and won t. Completesn assignment with out being guided through it.she will also say she is going to kill herself just to go to the hospital. She is very demanding and a handful at times. So is there another dissorder out there that has to do with a frequent desire to be see as someone that needs medical attention of help with everything she has to do or is this normal bipolar behavior?
Answer :
She just need attention like you said, try somtimes making her lunch, for school, and give her little notes on how you care about her sometimes the simplest things can do alot. Or take her to a room and give her a private talk on she is acting, and why. other than that I dont know :/
Question :

How do you deal with bipolar teen skankerdoodle?

How do I deal with a bipolar 15 year old?
My stepsister. SO I have to be around her.
She s being evaluated in a month, but who knows what she ll get into by then.
She makes out with a kid she literally JUST MET outside of her SCHOOL when I go to pick her up!
GROSSSSS.
She s bipolar, childish, crazy, and EXTREMELY easy/whore-ish.

Ugh.
What can I do to assist/ prevent bad reputations and or pregnancy?

GROSSSSSSSSS.

Thanks!
(By the way, I know she s bipolar. If she s not, I ll eat a pound of raw hamburger.)
P.S. Parents NO HELP at all, and are in denial!!
Answer :
You re an awesome sister for being concerned for her well being.

You should let go of that tiny bit of judgmental tone I m sensing. If she has a condition you have to remember it s a *condition* and not a moral failing. Being upset at her for things which are caused by it is like calling someone with bad eyesight lazy if they can t read a sign. It s not their fault.

When she goes to get evaluated, see if you can go along and talk to the counselor by yourself, if only for a little bit. Tell your parents its because you have some "stupid" questions or something if you need to. If that might cause trouble, consider calling the counselor in private. If the counselor is good they might let you come by briefly on your own later or something too.

When you talk to them explain the situation as you see it and tell them how much you want to help your sister. Again, if they re good at their job they ll probably go out of their way to help you.

They ll give you the specifics, but basically what you ll need to do is educate yourself so you can then pass that knowledge on to your family so they can all help her out.

Again, you re a great kid to be looking out for her like that. She s very lucky to have you. No matter what happens, your love and clear-headedness will make her life better.

Good lu... No, actually I wish you fantastic luck.
