getting my child tested

I have longed believed that my daughter, who is 14 now, is bipolar. How do I convince mental health officials to test her, so if I am right she can get the proper treatment.

Make a list of all of her symptoms and take that with you to the doctor.

Well there is no official test but the best thing to do is to have her see a psychologist and if they have noted further concerns they will refer her to a psychiatrist who will then follow up. Also inform them of everything you noted with her.
