wishing she was dead

[lee42]

hi i have a 12 year old daughter that im very worried about . long story but the short of it i have always worried she may have bipolar there are many members of my family who have got it . most of the time she is ok to handle and is a sweet little girl but just this week we had a big blow up and she became quit violent with a lot of swearing and wishing she was dead . she is ok at the moment but if i try to talk to her about seeing someone for help she gets very angry again . im question is what would be the best way to get her to see someone (i have made an appiontment to see a counsellor but i need a doc referal before i go and she want ever go there) and if they find she does have it will she need  pill at her age ............

Yes she can take zyprexa which is a mood disorder for bipolar my son who is 10 takes it (Not for bipolar but for asperger's a form of autism) He has been takeing it for 2 years and no major meltdows since then. he takes a very small does. If you are that concerned you will just have to make her go. pick her up from school and don't tell her were she is going its better than letting this go on not treated. hope this helps
