This story is about a child of mine. She is only nine years old and all her life has struggled with medications. From the time she was born, I asked the doctor if she might have bipolar disorder and was told they didn’t diagnose bipolar disorder a child is at least a teenager.

Then about a month later, we went back to the doctor, who told me to take my daughter to a psychiatrist she recommended. When I did, the psychiatrist prescribed two medications for my daughter, and for the last two months it has been wonderful. My daughter has only had 2 rages, and she is smiling. I don’t remember ever seeing her smile all her life. We are learning to be a family again thanks to her doctor.
