BiPolar Signs?

[AivahlisMom]

My daughter is 9 and is an amazing, kind hearted sweetie! However, she can also, without warming, turn HULK on me. In the moment she is consumed with anxiety, fear, anger, and can not control herself. She is night and day. My heart breaks for her!!!!! Is it possible she is bipolar?!

If you think your daughter may have an issue with bipolar get her into a psychiatrist and/or therapist.  I became biploar around 13 and almost killed myself before anyone did anything.  I am not saying that will happen to you, I'm just saying get on it now before it gets worse.  Sometimes it is just a teenager going through a rough time, but you don't want to risk it.  Please, get her in to see someone soon.  I will pray for you and your daughter and I hope things get better soon.

Diagnosing bipolar in young children is very hard because they can be going through normal childhood behavior or ADHD or ADD. But yes give it time or see about testing for ADHD or ADD. Good luck.

everything is possible. yet i don't advise you see a psychiatrist right away. give it more time as she grows up many things change e.g. hormones, personality, ... on the contrary if you see a pdoc right now he will put her on drugs at this early age. so be patient.

2 theories exist for dealing with this, either you wait and see how things materialize or hurry to pdocs the second choice is the road of no return, whereas the 1st gives you ample time to watch for things to develop

good luck
