[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here again.  Since my posting, my D had a chance to talk to two different psychiatrists.  Both of them diagnosed her something along the line of bipolar/Schizophrenia.  Apparently, some of the symptoms of ADHD and bipolar overlap.  This is not obvious to a layperson, but I am at this point relying on an Ivy-trained psychiatrist who has agreed to continue to see my D with the use of teletherapy when she's away in college.

Thanks to everyone who posed, especially to the Anonymous at 06/28/2018 14:42.[/quote]

Getting help this early is really really good.  Praises to her for recognizing it and asking for help!  Praises to you for listening and taking her request seriously.  I don't know where you are in the area, but NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) has some great parent groups in the area.  They can be helpful in providing support. [/quote]

+1  It's great that she noticed the problem and you supported her in getting help.  I'd also find out what the health services are at her college so you are both prepared if she needs some one in person on short noticed.[/quote]
