adhd/odd/bipolar
by andi1978s, Mar 11, 2008 12:40PM
my friend has a twelve yr. old daughter that the doctors are telling her that she has ADHD/ODD/Bipolar. they have her on Abilify but it only works for a little bit then they have to change her medications. yes the child was tramatized as a young child. she walked in and found her father dead. but we don't think that has little if anything to do with it. is there any medication out there that will combat all three problems with little or no side effects or other problems? please help the mother is at wits end.

The child you describe has several issues, and getting the right mix of medication could be challenging. A psychiatrist with a lot of experience in treating children with these conditions, or a psychopharmacologist with child treatment experience, is probably worth finding. The child needs a serious specialist, at least for stabilization.
