She doesn't know.
The pdoc told her that he cycles too often to be bipolar. Time for new pdoc.
Randy has missed 30% of the school year so far because he stays up all night and sleeps in the day. She is worried about his schooling...

My aunt and uncle both started taking anti-depressants about a year ago she revealed. In the past, they self-medicated. The extended family knows that they used to drug and drink but it seems to be hush hush that they are each seeing a pyschiatrist for anti depressants, sleep meds,....


The child has a strong family tree.....

I have no idea what his dx is. I was trying to be encouraging by giving her the name of my old pdoc and giving her a chance to talk a bit -- I could tell that she and my uncle don't talk about it to "outsiders." And I don't blame them. It is probably frightening to thing about things like this for ones children.


I got sick when I was 25 and dx'd 6 months later.
