hi, I often get letters from readers. I like to pass on the ones that show positive stories of how this illness CAN be treated. It takes a team- that is for sure!
Julie,
Thank you for doing this work.
Public, private and municipal awareness is essential.
So is education, school awareness.
You are amazing.
My 13 year old daughter has had an early diagnosis of early onset bipolar disorder and we have had treatment plans and interventions as needed in place for about 5 years now.
She is doing really well, is stable and we provide the best environment, prescribed meds and learning environment for her as possible.
Early detection and “labeling” for treatment and protocol purposes is essential.
It helps to detect, to understand and to treat appropriately.
Thank you for helping me to understand as a parent what exactly the cognizant pieces and self awareness that a BP person needs in order to ultimately help themselves.
I pass this on to my daughter, as she grows and is willing and able to listen and deal personally with her illness and indeed special needs.
Thank you for being a role model to young women with BP disorder.
Best regards and peace –
PWF
