[quote=Anonymous]My college-age child has a diagnosis of cyclothymic disorder, which is a milder form of bipolar disorder. Several years of medication, working with a psychiatrist and therapist, and good decisionmaking around environmental triggers (like avoiding alcohol and getting enough sleep) have been very effective in helping them to stay in school and feel successful. But nothing is perfect and there are still times when it comes to the surface. But at least there are systems in place so that nothing slips through the cracks. All of which is to say that the best thing you can do for your child is help them find those systems, support them where you can, and at the same time brace yourself for the fact that there will still be hard times for all of you.[/quote]
