bipolar help for families
Is my son Bipolar or adhd?
My son is really hyper. And he get really angry, for no reason, and throws things, or hits his sibblings. Please do not tell me I ned to spank him, he is disciplined, but nothing works. Some days he is so good, and loving, then others he is sooo bad. But he always says sorry and I love you sincerely, he is 7 Bipolar runs in my family is it possible he has it, my other children, ages 3 and 6 are very well behaved and I’m afraid he cannot(not will not) control himself. He also stays up until like 4 in the morning watching tv then wakes up at 6 am and is not tired. A lil help please
i didnt ask if i should medicate him, thanks Dr. obvious
I was talking to fatman ^ up there
You will have to take him to a psychiatrists to be sure but sounds like he has ADHD, but it sort of sounds like early bipolar too. Its really hard to say. And i wouldnt take him to the pediatrician, because they dont know as much as a psychiatrists about these things, but they tend to pretend they do. Make sure you tell them you want to know about behavior modification, before you try meds.
Just make sure you are giving him time out for the things he does wrong. If you cant get him to sit in the chair during time out, then you get in the chair and hold him there.
And you have to be persistent. That is the key no matter what is going on, otherwise its like he is only going to get worse.
And you need to make sure he is getting adequate sleep, because that can cause mental problems too in children.
Bipolar Bears face extinction unless you help!
