In reply to lithium, posted by bob on September 25, 1999, at 18:14:06
I was diagnosed at the age of 10 or 11 with Bipolar depression. I am 20 right now. I inherited this from my mom. At that time they tried many different medications but they just couldn't seem to find the one that would work for me. Then 2 years ago they started me on Lithium that was probably the best thing for me as I look back on it today. They have placed your daughter on the best medicine there is out there for bipolar disorder. I am in the proccess right now of getting another medication to work in conjunction with the lithium. I have been doing a little research the last few days and I have found out some really good info not only about the medication for bipolar but also just about depression itself. To get some more information try going to www.hotbot.com (this is a search engine) and type in depression medication and/or bipolar depression and you can find out a lot of information that might help you cope with the diagnoses of your daughter. I hope this helps.
