[quote=Anonymous][quote] If your child was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, what were some of their symptoms as teenagers? Did they show any signs in childhood?[/quote] Mine is diagnosed with bipolar II which seems to fit well. Nothing as a child would have med me to think this was a possibility. Symptoms obviously included mood swings. The depression was so unbelievably dark with him not being able to move for days. The manic involved not sleeping and doing impulsive things like spending money (after stealing credit cards), leaving the house and going who knows where. It was intoxicating sometimes and sometimes it wasn’t particularly pleasant. He also developed extreme anxiety which led to school refusal. There were suicide attempts, violence, property destruction. [/quote]
