hi I wrote in previously regarding weaning off of bipolar meds which I have decided not to do . I need to keep things together as much as possible for my kids. My problem now, among others, is that I have an eight year old that has bipolar and I am concerned about wether or not to get him on medication . Is it a good idea to get him dependant on drugs this soon? He realy has some violent rages and is miserable but I am hesitant to get him into the "system" so young.( he is eight) Then I see about Danielle Steeles book and her son suiciding at 19 and it scares me . I want to do what is right and I know how miserable I have been with my rapid cycling . Also how much of bipolar is my personality and how much is bipolar. Does this make any sense? Thanks for any input!
