Best Answer

If she is undergoing proper treatment for the severity of her Bipolar disorder, whether that is therapy, medication, or some alternate, approved treatment, then yes. Anyone with a severe mental disorder can be a threat if untreated, though bipolar disorder is most often milder than other disorders, such as schizophrenia.

Ultimately, it will be the decision of the mother, hopefully with the input of her doctor, family, and friends.

Is it safe for a bipolar person on medications Klonopin neurontin and lithium to be with children?

There should be no problem at all, I would only be concerned if the bipolar person took no medication.However, totally independent of bipolar or no bipolar there are of course people that are not safe with children. But the statistical chance of this is no different between those with mental illnesses and those without.

Is taking 300mgs of triliptal to much for a 65 lb 10 year old?

Is the patient being treated for epilepsy or Bipolar Affective Disorder? If the usage is for epilepsy, trust your doctor about dosage. As to the off-label usage, few drugs for the treatment of Bipolar Affective Disorder have been proven to the FDA to be safe and effective in the treatment of Bipolar patients below age 18. Trileptal IS NOT one of the drugs proven to be safe and effective. Questions to ask your child's doctor; -Why this drug? Are there other options? If so, have they been proven safe and effective in this age group? -How can we know that your diagnosis is correct? Ten years old is exceptionally young (statistically extremely unlikely) for an onset of Bipolar Affective Disorder?

Can you still adopt a child if you dropped out of high school and you want to raise the child being a single parent?

I think that this depends on the state you reside in. I can not see how dropping out of high school should affect this unless you are not a legal adult (in which case you wouldn't be able to adopt anyway). As long as you can raise a child in a safe environment I see no reason (single or married) that you can't adopt a child. Check with your city or state about their adoption laws.
