It is good that he is home with you and getting treatment. A psychiatrist and a neurologist can help with diagnosis. (For point of clarification: BPD usually stands for Borderline Personality Disorder BP usually stands for Bipolar Disorder) Sometimes the exact diagnosis about how much is TBI and how much might be bipolar is not hugely important because medications that are used for TBI are also used for Bipolar. For example Anticonvulsants (antiepileptic drugs) are used for both. Agitation is a horrible thing to have to deal with. Push the doctors to get him the right medication for this.

They can test for that. I am sorry that your family is going through this. Mari Last edited by Mari; 08-16-2013 at 03:26 AM. |
