Childhood bipolar disorder

Candice

Message 2 of 4 Previous Next



My 15 year old son was diagnosed as being Bipolar this summer. He is on Lithium (600mg a.m. & 900 mg p.m.), Wellbutrin 75mg a.m, and Seroquel. Seroquel is an anti-psychotic that seems to keep his rage generally under control. He is on 25mg at bedtime. Of course he was also in a residential program & a day program this summer. they had group therapy, individual therapy, etc. They taught him different outlets for his temper (rage) and anger. He exercises, lifts weights, boxes on a heavy bag in the backyard, rides his bike, draws, plays on the computer. anything that will help keep him calm. Maybe your son needs some therapy, if he isn't in it already to learn how to deal with the anger part of this disease. We are doing so much better. Good Luck.
