The only person I think you should trust on making such an impotent diagnosis as Bipolar disorder in a child is a doctor that you have done extensive research on. And even if the doctor is trusted it never hurts to get a second opinion.

Can you trust that bipolar?

Trust in someone with bipolar disorder, like trusting anyone else, depends on the individual's behavior and the nature of your relationship. Bipolar disorder can affect mood and behavior, but many people manage their condition effectively with treatment. It's important to approach the relationship with understanding and open communication. Ultimately, trust is built over time through consistent actions and honesty.


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?


Your daughter has ADHD and bipolar she is on 40mg of Vyvanse and 12mg serequel all the sudden she is behaving strange what are some other options besides serequel?

Let me begin by saying that I hope your daughter is being followed by a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner that specializes in working with children. I am not a doctor, however I have worked with individuals, of all ages, with a diagnosis of Bipolar Disorder. A diagnosis of bipolar disorder and ADHD is not uncommon, but it can be difficult to treat, because many medications used to treat ADHD can trigger Bipolar Mania. I would not be surprised if the vyvanse triggers symptoms of mania at various times of the year. I would continue taking seroquel, discontinue the vyvanse, and start Straterra. Honestly, (again, I am not a physician) the only ADHD med that I trust, with an individual who has Bipolar, is Straterra. Straterra is not typically prescribed to children, however it is the only medication that treats ADHD which is not a stimulant. Check out my previous post about Bipolar Treatments: What are effective treatments for bipolar disorder Be well.

Why should you never promise to keep a child's secret?

The child may tell you something that you are obligated or need to tell someone, like if someone being abused. If you promise to keep the secret, you will break the child's trust, not only trust between you and the child, but it will teach the child not to trust others, too.
